Shhhh, it’s a surprise!

We want to continue our tradition of having the 3rd graders open letters from their parents on the days of STAAR testing (Math - Tuesday, May 10, Reading - Wednesday, May 11). Here’s what we need from you: please write 1 letter for EACH STAAR day (2 letters total) that gives your kiddo some pep and encouragement for the big day, seal them in an envelope, put your child’s name and either an M or R (to designate if it’s the math letter or the reading letter), and send it in to school with your child. We will make sure it gets to your 3rd grader on the correct day. If you’d like to email the letters to your child’s homeroom teacher and have us print them out, that is perfectly fine as well; we’re happy to do it! Please do not mention this to your child; we’d love for each kiddo to have a happy surprise that morning from the people they love the most. Please have letters turned in by Tuesday, May 3rd.

Field Trip Information!

Just a reminder that the $11 cash or check (made out to Coppell ISD) AND permission is due Friday, May 6th.


**Optional** End of Year Conference

 


Math

We will spend the next week reviewing for STAAR. This will include specific reviewing that is tailored to what each kiddo needs to work on (versus every child reviewing every concept), small groups, and test-taking strategies. Your child has learned all the math he or she needs, and now it’s time to dot the Is and cross the Ts (finish the 7s and curve the 8s since it’s math?) so that he or she is ready to rock that math STAAR test!

Science 

In Science , we will be studying and learning about the structure and function of parts of plants.  We will also discuss the basic needs of plants and how they play a big role in our environment and food chains.

Reading/Writing 

In reading, we will overview nonfiction and apply our knowledge to answering STAAR questions. In writing, we will overview prepositions and adjectives and how to identify/use them in our writing.

Social Studies 

In social studies, we will continue to learn about historical figures and their impacts to their communities.
