Dear Families,
As of now, school is closed until April 13th. This was an unexpected surprise for all of us. I am really going to miss my students over the next month. During these unprecedented times we are doing our best as a district to navigate how instruction will be provided moving forward.
I’d like to offer as much support to you as I can from a far. Please feel free to e-mail me at anytime with questions as I will be checking my inbox frequently: sokoloa@dearbornschools.org
One of the most important things we work on at school is following a schedule and routine. You can reinforce this at home by creating a routine to help your child stay on track. I cannot express the importance of keeping a consistent bedtime routine so that when we do return to school your children are awake and alert during the school day. Children ages 3-5 are recommended to get 10-13 hours of sleep per night. Given our school day starts at 8:35 and most students are on the bus before then, starting your child’s bedtime routine between 7-8 would be best to ensure they are getting the recommended amount of sleep each night.
To get you started, below are links to the YouTube videos we listen to each morning during circle time:
