We will have our social studies test, How do communities change?,  on Friday afternoon. Check your child’s folder for a study guide. Please read through and discuss the guide with your child. You can also share  the changes in the Dearborn community over the years. An example would be how the Dearborn City Hall use to be on Michigan Avenue across from the Arab American Museum. Now it is located on Michigan Avenue not far from the police station.

In math, we have been practicing counting change.  Please allow your child to count change at home to strengthen their skills. Students also need to continue to practice their number patterns, counting by 5’s, 10’s, and 100’s from any number to 1,000.

If your child cannot tie their shoes, please give them some practice time at home. This skill should be mastered by the end of second grade.

March is READING Month – we are having a reading contest on myon.com. The class that reads the most will get a pizza party. KEEP READING!!
