Function Machines

During the week of December 12th we will begin making our Functions Machines!  See below in our What Are We Learning section for more details!

What it will end up looking like:

1/2 gallon cardboard milk carton

Cereal box

If you do not have access to either of these, please let either Mrs. Naughton or Mrs. Shelby know and we will make arrangements.  Thank you!

PTO is hosting a Kendra Scott Night Fundraiser. See below for details:

Lion's Club

A note from Ms. Matlock:

Each year the Lions Club of Coppell provides holiday baskets and toys for families in the Coppell ISD attendance area. Last year Lion's Club provided a special Christmas for over 127 families and hundreds of children who might otherwise have gone without. The food baskets and toys are delivered by members of the Lions Club of Coppell, and the identity of the recipients is kept confidential. All Lion's Club needs need to know is the address and the family demographics, sizes, and any special needs the family may have. If your family would like to apply for a holiday basket and toys, please email Town Center's counselor, Kelly Matlock, at kmatlock@coppellisd.com.

December Lunch Menu

 

Math

We are ready to practice our input/output tables and will be working on planning, building, and using our machines all week. 

Function Machines are my favorite!

Science 

Next week, we will spend the week working on a STEM activity…The Sandcastle Project!  They will be given the challenge of building a sandcastle that can withstand erosion (flowing water).  The kids will plan, build, test, and observe!  #science

Reading/Writing 

As we continue our new Read Aloud “Because of Winn-Dixie”, we will be analyzing major and minor characters. We will identify character traits and synthesizing information written in the story/drawing on our own conclusions. The author often gives us information without saying it directly. We are learning to infer and draw conclusions through written phrases, sayings, behavior, relationships and more. It’s exciting to begin to learn that there is so much more that authors want to share with us through their characters. 

We will also carry this over to our writing time. We will be writing a form of persuasive writing where a thesis statement or claim is made and details, evidence and examples are provided to back them up.

Social Studies 

The map study continues.  We are learning parts of maps, how to read them, and their purpose.
