Greetings Oakman families,

This week is VIRTUAL SPIRIT WEEK so be sure to participate and share your photos each day.
Monday: PAJAMA DAY- share a photo wearing your favorite pajamas.
Tuesday: HELPING IN THE KITCHEN- Share a photo of you helping in the kitchen. You can help make a healthy snack or meal or do the dishes.
Wednesday: WHAT ARE YOU READING?- Share a photo of yourself reading to either a stuffed toy, your parents, brother or sister.
Thursday: GIVE A SHOUT OUT! Give a shout out to a friend you miss. Don’t forget your teachers too. Record a 10 second video and share it.
Friday: ENJOY THE FRESH AIR- Share a photo of yourself outside your house while keeping social distancing.
Thank you to all the students who participated in the weekly math challenge! We are so proud of you! Measurement is important to our daily life because it’s around us everywhere! We measure when we cook, when we check someone’s temperature, take medication or even estimate time. Can you think of other things we measure?
If you took part in the weekly math challenge be sure to check your mailbox this week for a special surprise from Mrs. Dakhlallah!
| Starting Monday, March 30, Detroit Public TV is responding to the learning needs of families with children at home as a result of Michigan schools being closed because of the COVID-19 crisis by adjusting its entire daytime programming schedule. |
See full info and weekly schedule at: https://www.dptv.org/education/tv-programming-resources/
From 7a until 6p Monday through Friday, DPTV will offer blocks of programming geared to specific age groups – early childhood, middle school and high school – on its main broadcast channel (56.1), as part of a collaboration with Michigan’s public television stations and the national PBS system.
Kids A-Z Login Instructions
Step 1: Go to www.kidsa-z.com
Step 2: Enter or choose the teacher’s username, sonyafowler
Step 3: Your child finds his or her username on the class chart
Step 4: Your child enters his or her password, everyone is the apple
Raz-Kids Stats so far…. 6 out of 20 students that have logged in and so far on RAZ-KIDS!!!
Please give it a try this weekend and let me know if you have any questions about this program but it is AWESOME for allowing students to listen, read, and take quizzes at their level and working to LEVEL UP READING!!! It also allows me, the teacher, the ability to remotely track your reading minutes, books, and to see what skills are strengths and weakness for each child. I hope that this will allow me to give personalized feedback to each student.
Remember to first listen to the story, then read AND RECORD (red button near top of dashboard), and lastly you take the quiz. You should be doing this order for EACH book so that you can LEVEL UP your reading level.
Happy Reading!!!! So proud of you all and hope parents this is something that the students will be able to do mostly ON THEIR OWN as I entered their independent reading level. Let me know if you have any questions for concerns!!!
So happy to see students earning stars and working hard, congratulations to the top earners so far!! At the end of each week (Friday), I will post the top 3– Ali I, Amar, and Omar, here are the current class leaders along with some awesome stats that I can see from those who have joined so far.
I love and miss you all very much!
Happy Saturday!
Love,
Mrs. Fowler
Starting next week, Dearborn Public Schools is changing to free student meal pickup three times a week. Pickups will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday next week (March 30 to April 3), and then Monday, Wednesday, Thursday the week of April 6 to 10 because of Good Friday. After that, pickups will stay at Monday, Wednesday and Friday while the program is in effect. Each bags will contain enough meals for each student to last until the next pickup date. The reduced schedule will hopefully be easier for families, and reduce the potential virus exposure for families, staff and volunteers.
Here we go with week #2!!! Parents please feel free to give me feedback through the REMIND APP of what is working for you with working with your child at home. We hope to make all of the enrichment learning opportunities we are providing a way for you to bond with your child during this time at home as well as continue to learn and review kindergarten academic content standards.
