Upcoming Dates
- Terrific Texans - This week we started a school-wide recognition called Terrific Texan. Throughout the week the learners can earn a Terrific Texan Ticket for outstanding citizenship, leadership and behavior from any teacher in the school. Each time that they earn a ticket they add it to our 3rd grade box. At the end of the day on Friday, Ms. Martin will draw 3 names from each grade to read over the announcements! We will showcase them on our blog as well! Congratulations to our first week winners: Emily, Sachee, and Max! A new round of earning tickets will begin next week! Keep up the great work!
- May 6 Bond Election Information - Coppell ISD residents, who are registered to vote may cast a ballot in the May 6 Bond Election. Voters will be asked to vote "FOR" or "AGAINST" the $321.5 million bond measure on May 6. In accordance with state law, the bond referendum will be presented as four separate propositions.
- Field Trip - We are excited about about upcoming Field Trip to the Heard Museum in McKinney! We will be going Wednesday, May 10th. More detailed information and the permission slip will be coming home soon.

- Family Lunch Fridays - Our campus is open each Friday for lunch visitors! When you arrive you will sign in at the front office and receive a visitor badge that must be worn at all times. You will need a photo ID (license or passport). You will be able to eat lunch with your child at the designated tables for lunch visitors. You may only eat with your child. No other learners may be invited to eat with you. You may purchase lunch in the cafeteria or bring a lunch with you. Parents will be dismissed from the cafeteria. You will need to go back through the front office to sign out at the end of lunchtime. Please see Ms. Martin's Principal Newsletter for details on who may eat with your child and a form to fill out for non-parent lunch visitors. No lunch visitors on early release days.
- Background Checks - If you have not had a chance to fill out a background check please fill one out for yourself or update last year's!

Math
It’s closing time: you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here! We are wrapping up our fraction unit, and it’s been awesome. No, I am not joking. They have rocked it, and we are so proud. Go on, ask them anything! Equivalent fractions, check! Comparing fractions, check! Butterfly method, check! We will have our post test sometime this week, and we can’t wait to see how much they have grown and improved compared to their pretest. Please let us know if you have any questions. Well done! #3rdgradecrushesfractions
Science
We will finish up our habitat research at the beginning of this week. Then we will take a closer look at animal adaptations that allow them to survive and thrive in their environment. We will also start checking in on a live web cam for the San Diego Zoo!! The kids will keep a diary (think, Diary of a Worm) about what their animal is doing and how its adaptations are helping them.
Reading/Writing
During our ELAR block the next few weeks, we will be reviewing literary concepts and practicing crucial test taking skills to include extended response to a prompt/text, short answer responses to literature and revising and editing completed work.
Social Studies
We will be identifying individuals who have done heroic deeds, state and national heroes and military and first responders. We will focus on product creation and research skill as we research Hector P. Garcia, James A. Lovell, the Four Chaplains, Harriet Tubman, and Todd Beamer.
