CISD Family Survey

CISD is currently surveying our families in order to gain insight into your perception of our schools and district effectiveness. This survey shouldn’t take more than a few minutes to complete and will be a valuable source of information for us, as we work to make our schools and our district the best that they can be. You may complete the survey online between now and Nov. 4, using a computer, tablet or smartphone. To take the survey, please visit https://surveys.panoramaed.com, then select your child(ren)’s school. If you have multiple children in CISD, we ask that you take the survey for each school your child attends.

What are we learning?

Math

In math, learners will review telling time on an analog clock. We will also begin to learn about elapsed time and learn strategies to solve those word problems. 

Language Arts

In language arts we are continuing our character analysis unit. We will begin to move deeper into the idea of character traits by exploring why our characters show certain traits. Information about the unit's culminating activity will be coming home soon. 

Science

In Science, we will complete experiments to explore different forms of energy such as light, sound, thermal and mechanical. Learners will be expected to describe these types of energy and provide examples of each.

Social Studies

In social studies we are finishing up our government and citizenship unit. We will overview the three levels of government as well as explore important US documents such as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, discussing the purpose of each.
