Mrs. Schuit's Early Childhood Special Education

Tuesday Writing:

• Practice printing first and last name. They are used to having a straight line to draw on so you can draw a line and have them print their first and last name. You can print their name at the top of the paper so they can look at the letters if they need to.
• If your child is not printing letters yet you can use a highlighter or light color crayon or marker and have them trace over the letters.
• There is a little song we use: Where do you start your letters? AT THE TOP. You can always put a green dot at the top of the letter so they know where to start.

• The story for the week is From Head to Toe by Eric Carle. The children can act out the animals. Can be found on youtube. Have your child draw a picture of their favorite animal.

• Please sign up for Epic Books. We have four students so far and have earned badge!

In order to support students, we are looking loaning Chromebooks to families needing them to help students continue to learn. Please note that Chromebooks need an Internet connection that works. *Please note that we will have limited numbers available.* Required

The State of Michigan announced additional cases of the COVID-19 virus in our state. These new numbers include the staff member from Whitmore-Bolles. The Wayne County Public Health Division has determined that the staff member was NOT contagious while in the building therefore, your child was not exposed to the COVID-19 virus. 

Local health departments in Michigan work directly with those who have been identified with the virus to investigate the possibility of any further spread of the COVID-19 virus. 

The Communicable Disease Unit at Wayne County determines who might have had exposure to those individuals with a positive test and contacts those whom they feel may have had contact.  Wayne County does not test any individuals who do not exhibit symptoms.

Part of their guidelines in determining risk factors include: did the person display symptoms while in contact with others.  Also, proximity and duration with other individuals.   

“We appreciate the support and expert guidance we have received from Wayne County in handling this situation,” commented Dearborn Public Schools Superintendent Glenn Maleyko.  

Crews are completing the cleaning of Whitmore-Bolles on Friday, and since the building will be closed until April 13, 2020 there is no reason to believe that the school will not be ready for staff and students when they return. 

For anyone who may have further questions or concerns they can reach out to the Wayne County Public Health Department COVID19 information line at (734) 287-7870.

By now everyone has probably heard that the Governor has closed all Michigan school until April 6th. Since Dearborn starts their spring break on April 6 we will not be returning to school until April 13.

Each teacher is asked to set up some type of remote learning. I will be using my blog to send you links and work to do with your child. In order to do this I first have to make sure everyone is receiving this notice. I need you to write a response back in the comment section that you are reading this blog.

After I get everyone on the same page we will work together to reinforce the skills they have already learned. The students have worked so hard I don’t want anyone to go backwards. I have such caring parents I know that we can work together and make this time off successful. Please text me if you have any questions and I will try and answer them.

FIRST STEP SEND ME A MESSAGE IN THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW SO I KNOW YOU ARE READING THE BLOG.
