Remote Learning
We are in uncertain times here and we have no idea how long this will last. So while we are homeschooling/remotely/digitally educating our kids, if you need assistance with understanding something that has been assigned for your student, or if you need more resources, please let me know. I will be happy to answer questions as best as I can. I am a Middle School ELA Coach and will be happy to answer questions as best I can.

Summer Learning- ELA
Summer Learning: Math and Literacy
Dear Parent/Guardian,
According to Johns Hopkins University, the effects of summer learning loss can result in nearly a three-month loss in grade-level equivalency in math and a two-month loss in grade-level equivalency in reading. In order to close the summer learning loss gap in reading and math, middle school students will be expected to complete Summer Learning before they return in the fall. Teachers will grade the completed summer work when school opens in August. Below are the expectations for math and literacy. Thank you so much for supporting your child’s development through summer learning.
Math:
- Complete 60 minutes of Khan Academy a week (Practice only, videos will not count), based on their NWEA level.
- Students need to access Khan through Clever from the Dearborn Schools Student page.
DO NOT LOG IN FROM THE STUDENT’S PERSONAL ACCOUNT

Below is the grade breakdown by minutes for Math. 480+ minutes A 384 – 479 B 336 – 383 C 288 – 335 D |
Literacy:
- Read 3-5 books from your building’s recommended reading list.
- Be prepared to present a Book Talk in September when you return to school.
- Book Talk rubric
All Middle School libraries will be open every Wednesday between 9 am and 11 am.
الدورة الصيفية : الرياضيات و اللغة الانكليزية
أولياء الأمور و الأوصياء الأعزاء:
بناء على دراسة لجامعة جون هوبكنز إن الانقطاع عن الدراسة خلال الصيف قد يسفر عن تراجع الطالب بما يعادل فترة زمنية قد تصل إلى الثلاثة أشهر تقريبا من فترة الدراسة العادية في مادة الرياضيات، و الشهرين في مادة القراءة. من أجل التخلص من هذه الفجوة التعليمية التي من الممكن أن تنشأ عن حلول فصل الصيف في القراءة والرياضيات، يتوقع من طلاب المرحلة الاعدادية إكمال واجبات بيتية صيفية قبل عودتهم إلى المدرسة العام القادم وسيتم تصحيح وإعطاء علامات عن هذه الواجبات من قبل المعلمين عند بداية العام الدراسي في شهر آب القادم. في ما يلي توقعاتنا في مادة الرياضيات و القراءة. شكراً لكم على دعمكم ومساندتكم لأبنائكم في إكمال الواجبات الصيفية .
الرياضيات:
- إكمال 60 دقيقة اسبوعياً في التمرن ( التمرينات فقط، مدة المقاطع المصورة لا تحسب من ضمن الساعات المطلوبة) على موقع أكاديمية خان بناءاً على مستواهم في امتحانات ال NWEA.
- على الطلاب الدخول على موقع خان عبر صفحة مدارس ديربورن الرسمية الرئيسية / صفحة الطلاب. لا تقوموا بتسجيل الدخول من صفحة الطالب الخاصة.
|
اليكم فيما يلي توزيع العلامات لكل دقيقة في كل مادة : الرياضيات ( خان) اللغة ( موبي ماكس) 480 دقيقة و أكثر = أ 479-384 دقيقة = ب 383-336 دقيقة = س 335-288 دقيقة = د |
اللغة الانكليزية:
- قراءة 3-5 كتب من قائمة الكتب المعروضة في مدرستك.
- تجهيز عرض تقديمي مكتوب لتقديمه في شهر أيلول عند العودة إلى المدرسة.
- سلم علامات و تصحيح العرض التقديمي.
نرجو منكم التوقيع على هذا الجزء و إعادته إلى معلم/ـة الطفل
سوف تفتح جميع مكتبات المدارس الإعدادية أبوابها كل يوم أربعاء من الساعة 9 ص وحتى 11 ص.
