You will be able to eat lunch with your child at the designated tables for lunch visitors. You may only eat with your child. 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.

What we are learning?

Math Workshop - In Math, learners will read and write time to the nearest one-minute increment using analog and digital clocks and distinguish between a.m. and p.m.


Reading Workshop - In Reading Workshop, learners will connect, compare and contrast information using the mentor text Stellaluna. They will also set individual reading goals. In Phonics, learners will practice spelling words with different endings such as -ing and -ed. Don't forget that our Library Day is Thursday each week! Your child should be checking out 3 books each week - one nonfiction, one "good fit" and one free choice.

Writing Workshop- In Writing Workshop, learners will continue working on their information writing. Learners will be editing, beginning final drafts, adding text features (table of contents and glossary), and an "All About the Author" page. 

Social Studies- In Social Studies, learners will be working on what a timeline is as well as the history of Coppell. Learners will be able to describe how people and events have influenced local community history through listening, speaking, reading, and writing. 

Science - In Science, learners will be investigating the way heat energy affects objects.
