I’m joking, I messed up with the module distribution. I forgot that the district decided to switch the order of modules 4 and 5. That being said, I have a couple of options for you to receive your math module 5.
IF you didn’t pick up your materials on Monday, February 1, don’t worry, I added module 5 to your materials. You can pick it up from the cardboard box labeled, ”4th Grade, modules 4 and 5 materials”
IF you did pick on your materials on Monday, February 1, I have 2 options for you:
Option 1
Come back to school and pick up your module 5 math materials, located in 32 gallon clear tub marked “4th Grade, Module 5 materials.”
Option 2
If driving back to school is too much right now, wait until February 10 to pick up your valentines and module 5 materials at the same time. In the meantime, you may download and print the Learn and Succeed pages for each lesson OR copy each problem/answer on your paper and submit your work that way (like your parents used to).
Please attend the PTA meeting on Thurs., Feb. 4 via Zoom at https://walshcollege.zoom.us/j/99542340620 (Meeting ID: 995 4234 0620)
All families are welcome to attend!

(Celebrating Thursday, February 11)
Hello Families!
We are hoping to make the Valentine’s celebration this year fun! We are asking that each student make valentines for their classmates.
Please have your child make one valentine card/small treat for each child in the classroom. We have 24 students. Please have them just put their name on the From part. The teachers will be putting them in their bags.
Please drop off to Howe Montessori office on Monday, February 1st between 9 am and 5 pm! You will see a tub for each grade level outside the office. Please place your child’s valentines in that box. We would like them early so we have time for them to sit before touching.
They will be available for pick up on Wednesday, February 10th between 9am – 5 pm. They will be in a tub labeled by grade level. Please just take one bag.

Online Etiquette for Parents from the District
Let’s face it, as great as Dearborn Public School parents are, for the most part, they were not spending their days in the classrooms at our schools before last year.
But then COVD-19 dumped those classrooms into your house and now everyone is navigating this new method of delivering education. To help parents and students with online learning, we have compiled some etiquette tips for parents. We know that most families follow good protocols, but hopefully this will help if some clarification is needed. We thank you in advance for that cooperation.
Parents
Please make sure students are prepared and participating. Ensure supplies and materials are ready, and computers are charged or plugged in. Please make sure students log in on time. If you want your child to get the most out of class, insist they turn on their camera even if the teacher does not require it.
Remember teachers are there to teach your child. Teachers are managing their class and providing instruction directed to your child. Please do not interrupt class with your questions or concerns. Those are best emailed to the teacher.
Be respectful. Teachers have had a difficult year too, and are working hard to make the best of a situation they never expected to be in. Be patient and courteous. If you have concerns, please politely bring those to the teacher outside of class time through email. Inappropriate language and demeaning or aggressive behavior are not permitted.
Don’t hover. Allow your child to interact with the teacher and do their own homework and assessments. We always encourage parents to be involved and support their children in their learning, but to learn and develop independence, each child needs to be engaged and doing his or her own work. (Obviously our youngest students probably need more help from the adults at home.)
Watch the background. Be aware that, depending on how your child’s camera and microphone are setup, the behavior of you and others could be transmitted to the entire class. Be mindful of how you are dressed, the language being used, and other such matters.
Technology issues. Issues with technology will happen from time to time for a variety of reasons. Please be patient when issues occur. For technical questions about your Chromebook, Schoology or Zoom, please contact our parent and student tech support at parenthelp@dearbornschools.org or 313-827-8400.
Thank you for all your help! Together, we will make the best of this difficult year.

Happy Holidays!
It was fantastic to see those of you who were able to come pick up the school packets. If you weren’t able to pick up the school packet, it is in the office, and you can pick it up there.
The packets contain reading, writing, grammar, and science work for January. I also included a small gift which I hope everyone enjoys when they get it.
I will see you on Zoom, Monday, January 4 at 9:00 AM. Have a wonderful break, I hope it snows, and keep healthy and safe.
From 1-3 PM 3rd, 4th, and 5th teachers will be in the back parking lot to greet you as you “drive thru” to pick up your present and books. If you have pajamas to donate, I can collect them from you as I hand you my items. Wear a mask, stay in your car, and I will see you tomorrow!
