Announcements
Please make note of the following STAAR testing dates:
Optional Parent Conferencewe would like to extend the offer to speak with your learner's teacher via phone call or Zoom. This is completely OPTIONAL
Parent Newsletter
iPad ChargingPlease ensure that your child is plugging in their iPad when they get home and charging it overnight. We have had an issue with a large group of learners in each class coming to school with their iPad dead. This makes charging at the same time hard and distancing even harder. We would love your help with iPads arriving at school charged. 
HEADPHONES!We have lots of kiddos who have lost/broken headphones. Please make sure that your child has a working pair of headphones for school.
What are we learning?
Math: Well, try not to be too sad, but our Crazy Bizarro Fraction unit is coming to a close this week. We will be reviewing all things fractions, including but not limited to: representing fractions on a number line, on fraction circles, and on fraction rectangles. We will review fractions in a set, unit fractions, decomposing fractions, and composing fractions. We are going to rediscover the magic of equivalent fractions. And finally, everyone's favorite (read: Butterfly Method), comparing fractions with the same denominator and comparing fractions with the same numerator. ALL FRACTIONS, ALL THE TIME!!
Math Club (aka optional math homework) will get started this week, so be on the lookout for that email. Your child should be bringing home a completed math paper each Friday called First 5 Minutes, so feel free to ask them about that on Fridays.
Language Arts: In reading we are going to be going over our practice reading STAAR. We will read the passages together as a class and work on answering the questions. We will focus on the most challenging questions and how they are worded.
Science: We will look at environmental changes; what causes it to happen and what is the result after. We will take a closer look at specifically coral bleaching and deforestation.
Social Studies: In Social Studies, the learners will continue working on their research project for their historical figure. They will be looking into their individuals family, what they are most known for, and ways they have impacted their community.
