ANNOUNCEMENTS

From P.E.:
We have extended our deadline for our annual campus service learning fundraiser to help support the American Heart Association. In the past five years, we have raised of $100,000 to support the organization and funded special grants to help heart surgeries and research. We are hope to reach the goal of $20,000 this year! If we reach our goal... Mr. Shelby and Dr. Applegate will have buckets of slime poured on them! You can get a “jump start” by fundraising online at www.heart.org/jump or www.heart.org/hoops.

From 3rd Grade:
Please ask your child if he or she needs headphones at school! It makes using technology a little easier when everyone can hear. 😊

Cafeteria expectations: It is a school-wide expectation that when the lights are off, our voices are off. Please help us with following these when you are eating with your child in the cafeteria

Background Check: Please take a minute to fill out a background check. It only takes a few minutes and the link is below. You will need to have completed a background check to volunteer at school and attend special events and field trips.http://www.coppellisd.com/Page/22

Mark your calendars! Our 3rd grade field trip to the Frisco Sci-Tech Discovery Center will be April 5th. If you have returned your permission slip, please do so ASAP. Also if you are wanting to chaperone, please let your child's teacher know! Please make sure you have completed a background check and paid your $9 entrance fee.


PEEK AT OUR WEEK

Math: This week we will continue exploring area and perimeter. Our learners will be able to find the area of composite figures and find the perimeter of polygons. We will also be applying these skills to problem solving.

HOMEWORK

Math: Please remember that we have started a new homework routine. Your child should be coming home with a new homework page that will be due on Friday, March 10th.
