Announcements


Please make note of the following STAAR testing dates:

Parent Newsletter



iPad Charging
Please ensure that your child is plugging in their iPad when they get home and charging it overnight. We have had an issue with a large group of learners in each class coming to school with their iPad dead. This makes charging at the same time hard and distancing even harder. We would love your help with iPads arriving at school charged. 



HEADPHONES!
We have lots of kiddos who have lost/broken headphones. Please make sure that your child has a working pair of headphones for school. 




What are we learning?


Math: Fractions! This week is full of fraction fabulousness! We will review our fraction tricks - The Butterfly Method and Whatever You Do to the Top, You Do to the Bottom - and we will compare fractions with the same numerator and different denominators. We are starting a Math Club - there will be more information coming about that through an email - and we will continue with our STAAR questions. 

Language Arts: In reading we are going to kick off STAAR prep! We will help the learners become oriented with the STAAR testing app and discuss test taking strategies.
In Writing, we will be focusing on identifying prepositions.  We will also work on building up our writing stamina by aiming to write for 15-20 minutes.

Science: In science, we will begin discussing food chains.  We will explore how a food chain shows the flow of energy within an ecosystem, how changes in a food chain affect the ecosystem and that producers and consumers describe different roles within a food chain.

Social Studies: In Social Studies, the learners will begin a research project on a historical figure.  They will dive into learning about this individual and how they influenced and shaped their community.
