https://adaa.org/living-with-anxiety/children/tips-parents-and-caregivers - On Monday, March 30, Dearborn Public Schools is changing the format of its free student meal distributions.Meals will now be distributed three times a week, instead of five. Meals will generally be distributed on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. However, the week of April 6 to 10, meals will be handed out on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Friday, April 10, is Good Friday and a holiday for District staff.Fewer meal distributions should make it easier for families to get the food while reducing the risk of virus exposure for both our families and our staff. Each food bag will still contain both breakfast, lunch and milk for a child under 18, but now the bag will have food for each day until the next distribution.Food distribution will be at the following schools from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. at Dearborn High, Edsel Ford, Fordson, Woodworth, Salina Inter., McCollough/Unis, & OL Smith.This will be as “grab & go” breakfast and lunch bags. Students do not need to pick-up. One person from a family can go and pick up food bags for all children 18 and under in their family. This will be on the Honor System, no lunch cards will be needed!
- Friday, March 13th -No School until Monday, April 13th Due to Covid-19 prevention and protection. Please stay home and stay safe.

| Want to be a better reader? Simply, read! | ||
- All 5th graders in Ms. Mosed’s class will be expected to read at least 40 books this year during independent reading at home.
- You will be reading 40 (or more) books this year (beginning 9/7/18) and keeping track of the titles and genres on your Reading List sheet.
- You will be reading from a variety of genres in order to explore books you might not ordinarily read, and to develop an understanding of literary elements, text features, and text structures.
- Books that have been read (or will be read) in class cannot count, even if the student re-reads the book.
- Students may ask the teacher, librarian, classmates, or their families for recommendations, but there are no specific title requirements
- Any book with more than 200 pages will count as 2 books.
- All books are selected by the student.
- Select good fit books at your reading level. Use your DRA book graph as your guide and NWEA reading RIT score.
- Use your Reading notebook to respond to your reading.
- Each quarter you will be asked to present a “book talk” in front of the class for a grade.
- Each week I will ask you about what you are reading, which books you have added to your list, which books you abandoned, and which ones you plan to read next.
- Every Friday, you will turn in a completed Reading List.
