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. If you have any suggestions or concerns about our at-home enrichment learning plan, please let us know. You can contact teachers through the remind APP as well as our email: rawsonm@dearbornschools.org and fowlers@dearbornschools.org

BIG THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!! Our kindergarten team has been so successful this year in large part because of the family participation and we will continue to have success because parents and teachers are a TEAM and working together to meet the needs of our students and children.

ROAR Announcements for today!!

Please watch with your family and make sure to stand up TALL for the Pledge of Allegiance and our Oakman Pledge!!

We continue to express great gratitude to how our families have come together to help and support each other. Now more than ever teachers, parents, and our Oakman family must work together to support each other in so many ways. We hope that the lessons, activities, and resources we are providing are allowing for some structure and routine to your households. Structure and routine help provide a safe feeling for young children. Here are some stories to help answer some questions that your young child might have about everything going on. Parents if you need more support, please contact District Public Hotline for questions and support from 9 a.m. -4 pm (Monday to Friday) is 313-827-3006 or email is communications@dearbornschools.org Tech Support (student) 313- 827-8400 Social/ Emotional Hot-line 313-827-8500

You may use Raz Kids for reading time. Remember to go to LEVELED TEXT (I have put in your independent reading level already so just choose a book to listen to, reading and record, and then take the quiz) *Important to follow those 3 steps in that order each time*
