ANNOUNCEMENTS
Thank you to everyone who was able to come out and cheer our learners on in the 3rd Grade Program. We are so proud of all their hard work!

Please remember that our Earth Day Celebration Field Trip at the DFW Center will be this Tuesday, April 18th. An email reminder will come home this week from your child's teacher. The DFW center will be providing your child's lunch for us that day as well.

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


PEEK AT OUR WEEK
Math: This week, our learners will continue to explore all about fractions! They will become experts at comparing fractions, equivalent fractions, and composing and decomposing fractions.

Science: In science, we will continue to study specific ecosystems. Students will work in groups to determine some basic features of their ecosystems, and how the living and nonliving things work together. We are going to explore the plants and animals in each ecosystem, and their characteristics that allow them to adapt to their environment.

Social Studies: This week in social studies we will begin a unit on cultural diversity. Learners will be researching different cultures and then presenting their findings through different ways.

Reading: In reading this week, we will continue to focus on the important comprehension skill of inferencing. We will also be reviewing Author's Purpose and Point of View. As we near STAAR, we will be reviewing essential vocabulary. Please see the Quizlet for our reading STAAR vocabulary here.

Writing: In writing, we will begin a persuasive writing unit. We will choose a topic and go through the writing process to complete our writing.

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, April 21st. Reflex Math still needs to be done 3 times a week. If you would like to do work book pages, they are 61-66.


Reading: We will continue our new Of The Week (OTW) homework. Learners will have one activity each night, then a short comprehension quiz on Friday. Starting this week, we will also be adding vocabulary homework. Vocabulary homework is also due every Friday.
