The food baskets and toys are delivered by members of the Lions Club of Coppell, and the identify of the recipients is kept confidential. All they need to know is the address and the family demographics, sizes, and any special needs the family may have.

What are we learning?
Math
In math, we will spend the beginning of the week reviewing multiplication and division word problems. Later in the week we will start our choice board to practice and master the skills we have learned thus far in this unit including: representing multiplication, fact families, equal shares, 2x1 digit multiplication, and word problems. The choice board will continue into the following week.
We will continue taking our multiplication fact quizzes on Mondays and Wednesdays. If all 10 facts are correct in 2 minutes, your child will be able to move on to a new quiz the next day we are testing. If they're not mastered, then that same quiz will be taken again until all 10 are correct. Additionally, any practice with fact fluency that can be done at home is VERY helpful. Each learner has been placed on multiplication and division on Reflex Math for this reason. Flashcards at home also work.
Language Arts
In language arts, we will begin our unit on Fables, Legends and Myths! We will learn how they all have themes and details to support the themes. We will also learn how fables, myths and legends play an important role in many cultures.
Science
In Science, the learners will be starting a new unit: Earth's Surface. We will start this unit by discussing fast land changes caused by natural disasters. We will research and study the causes and effects of natural disasters including volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides.
Social Studies
In Social Studies the learners will explore how humans modify and adapt to their physical environment when exposed to different landforms, climate and natural disasters.
