Upcoming Dates
St. Ann’s Catholic Parish is once again sponsoring Thanksgiving Basket deliveries (or a pickup option at St Ann’s Church if you prefer). This program provides families in need with a complete Thanksgiving dinner for the entire family. The baskets will be delivered to your home the weekend before Thanksgiving, so it is critically important that an adult representing the family be at the home between the hours of Noon and 4PM on Sunday, November 24th, 2024. The deadline to sign up for a basket is October 22nd, 2024.
Please fill out this form with all information requested. Please contact Nurse Crenshaw if you have any questions. kcrenshaw@coppellisd.comBackground Checks
We ask that all families complete a volunteer background check at the start of the year. They do not carry over from year to year. Since the background checks take time to process, we ask that everyone complete one in case any type of volunteering opportunity (class field trip, Dad's Club, Room parent, class volunteer, field day, etc.) arises during the year that you are interested in. Please click on the link below to complete it.

WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
**Identifying nonfiction text features and explaining their purpose in the text. These text features include: glossary, index, table of context, bold/italicized words, captions, photographs/illustrations, maps, graphs, diagraps, headings, subheadings and more!
**Identifying the main idea of a passage and providing supporting details. The hardest part about this for learners is that they want to describe the purpose of the article when the main idea is something different. Here is an example of the difference:
After reading an article about shark teeth, learners are asked to identify the main idea. If they say “the article is written to teach you about sharks’ sharp and replaceable teeth” they would be stating the author's purpose. The main idea would instead be something like, “Sharks have an amazing mouth that includes rows of sharp teeth that replace automatically when one falls out.” This is a tricky skill that leads the way for thesis writing!
In writing we will use our research on our animal and our main idea stool to create our final product for our informational writing. We are working on writing a topic sentence with supporting details. We will also work on an introductory paragraph that highlights the main idea of what we researched.
Please see this example for 36 x 4:
Put 36 into expanded form on top of the area model. (30 + 6)
Put the one digit number (4) on the left side of the area model.
Multiply 30 x 4. (Think 3x4 then bring down the 0.)
Multiply 6 x 4.
Add the products together.
And, if you know me, you know I love a good rhyme. Our rhyme for the standard algorithm (the good, ol’ fashioned way we all learned to multiply - carry the one. Anyone? Anyone?) is bottom, top, bottom, side - that is how we multiply! Big week coming up for math! We are ready and so excited to up our multiplication game!
