No other learners may be invited to eat with you. You may purchase lunch in the cafeteria or bring a lunch with you. Parents will be dismissed from the cafeteria. You will need to go back through the front office to sign out at the end of lunchtime. Please see Ms. Martin's Principal Newsletter for details on who may eat with your child and a form to fill out for non-parent lunch visitors. No lunch visitors on early release days.
- Background Checks - If you have not had a chance to fill out a background check please fill one out for yourself or update last year's! Click here to register as a new volunteer or confirm your information from last year. This must be completed every school year for you to volunteer at the school. The district will send you an email when your background check has cleared. Any opportunities for volunteering at the school, including holiday parties, will require a cleared background check. Once completed it lasts for the remainder of the school year. When you create your account, make sure to click on the add new application button. (see picture below)

Math
We are ready for our week of review and final STAAR practice for math! We will be reviewing for math STAAR based on your child’s heat map that was sent home Friday, April 14. In addition to reviewing your child’s areas of growth, we will make sure everyone understands all the features on the testing app and the new kinds of questions that will be given this year (not just multiple choice and fill in the blank!). Your children have learned all the 3rd grade math skills they need and are ready to shine on May 2!
Science
We will be using what we have learned about plant and animal adaptations to work on a fun project. Our wonderful DLC, Ms. Tinch, created a Minecraft Adaptations Project.
Reading/Writing
Your children worked so hard on their state assessment this week! I couldn’t be more proud.
In ELAR we are going to explore the world of Fairytales, Myths, Fables, tall tales, and folktales.
After analyzing their characteristics, we will work on constructing our own “Fractured Fairy Tales”.
Social Studies
We continue our research projects on important people in Social Studies this week. As we work on standards for product creation, we will try our hand and podcasting. This project will last a minimum of 2 weeks.
