Good Afternoon Miller Families,

Hope this email finds you and loved ones in good health and spirits. I take this opportunity to thank each of you for the unwavering support you continue giving your child and our learning community during these unprecedented times. We’ve all had to make adjustments over the last three months that were unexpected, not perfect and stressful at times, but the Miller Community responded with unwavering support and steadfast patience and Team Miller THANKS YOU!

Many unanswered questions remain about next year and a committee comprised of district leadership, staff, students, and parents are diligently working to create multiple plans for varying scenarios that may be possible for reopening school next year. I will be sharing and communicating with the Miller community as decisions become final. Important classroom, school and district information may be found at https://miller.dearbornschools.org/, please take time to review as needed. Most recent updates include virtual kindergarten roundup and latest district and school news.

Hello Families! What a beautiful weekend! I hope you were able to enjoy the sunshine and cool weather while continuing to social distance. There will be no class meeting this week. Parents we will be seeing one another briefly at book drop off and materials pick up on Thursday, June 4th from 1-2 pm. Teachers will be wearing masks and gloves and standing in designated locations to put materials in the trunk of your vehicle and collect Miller books. I look forward to seeing you! 🙂 Please bring library books and LLI books back to the school.

Here is our focus for this week:

Writing: We will continue to reflect on the school year and count down to the last day of school.

Reading: We will read on iReady and follow our personalized paths for 45 minutes of instruction.

Math: Fraction work will continue as we compare fractions of greater, less than, and equal values.

Science: We will be constructing an argument supported by evidence to explain why in a certain habitat some organisms survive well, some survive less well, and some don’t survive at all.

Social Studies: We will be creating a diagram to explain the cause and effects of the lumbering business growth in Michigan.

Have a great week! Please send me an email talebk@dearbornschools.org or Class Dojo message if you have any questions.
