Updates for the Week of October 24

Hello families,

We are in our 3rd week of Digital Citizenship Curriculum.

Click to enjoy a video that is part of our curriculum.

Students have been also practicing how to log in to computers and install the Kami App on their computer. This app that Dearborn Public Schools subscribes to will allow them to annotate documents I give them online.

Third grade students are also beginning to take pretest for typing skills. Typing skills are necessary, but is something that is a challenged to teach in our very busy days. When they come to media class, they will have the chance to practice for a few minutes at the start of the class. They will be tracking their progress all year to see their growth. 🙂

In addition, we have been focusing on how the author and illustrator sets the mood in a story. Below are the stories that we have been enjoying.

Once When I Was Scared

The Ghost- Eye Tree

Have a wonderful week! 🙂

Updates for the Week of October 3

Hello families!

The purpose of ficition/non fiction books, the different text features of non fiction is the focus for this week’s lessons. Reading for interest and purpose is is key and since people have different interests, learning where to find a book in the library of their choosing is important.

In future lessons, students will be shown online resources for safe and effective learning. Becoming a lifelong learner is my goal for all! 🙂

Have a wonderful week!
