What are we learning?


Math: In math this week, learners will begin to compose (when a number is being put together) and decompose (breaking down) numbers to 100.

Reading: In reading workshop this week, we will learn strategies to help us keep tabs on our comprehension as we read. We will also continue building reading stamina as we work toward our goal of 25! In writing workshop, we will talk about the "Small Moments" in our lives and writing about them.

Science: In science this week, learners will predict, observe, and record changes in the state of matter caused by heating and cooling such as ice becoming liquid water or condensation forming on the outside of a glass of ice water.

Background Checks
CISD requires background checks on any classroom visitors, school volunteers, and field trip chaperones. A new background check is required each year. It can sometimes take several weeks to process, so we encourage all parents to complete one at the start of the school year. You can access the form on the CISD website or by clicking here.
