Thanksgiving Baskets - A Note From Nurse Crenshaw
Dear Parents/Guardians,
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.com
Coppell Cares
Coppell Cares offers the Weekend Backpack Program for families who have financial need. Each Friday, learners receive a bag of snacks for the weekend. The goal of the program is to help eliminate food insecurity for children. They provide nutritious breakfast, lunch, and snack items to eligible CISD children (and siblings). This weekly food program helps feed children over the weekend during the school year when they are not receiving meals at school.
If you would like your child(ren) to participate in this program, please complete the online application below. If you would prefer a paper copy to be sent home with your child, please email TCE's counselor, Kelly Matlock at kmatlock@coppellisd.com. Families may sign up for this program at any time during the school year. Deliveries will begin Friday, September 6th. Deliveries will be suspended for Thanksgiving week, Winter Break, and Spring Break.
Math Workshop - In math workshop, learners will organize a collection of data with up to four categories by using bar graphs with intervals of one. Learners can draw conclusions and make predictions from information in a graph.
Reading Workshop - Our readers have been exploring syllables and breaking down words to help them read and spell. This week we will explore the consonant -le pattern. Words like table, trouble, puddle follow this pattern. We will also continue our non-fiction unit by studying how text features like captions, and headings help us to learn as we read.
Writing Workshop - In writing workshop, learners will write nonfiction books to teach others. We will write to a specific audience. In grammar we will learn about action verbs and use them in our writing.
Social Studies - In Social Studies we will learn about why citizens vote for public officials. At the end of the week, ask them who might make a better leader - Duck or Grace?
Science - In Science, learners will describe how resources are used and differentiate between natural and manmade resources.
- Ask your child to tell you a number greater than 1,060. Ask your child to tell you a number less than 1,200.
- Ask your child to tell you words that follow the "rabbit rule" - a vowel followed by 2 consonants.
- Ask your child about levels of sound used in everyday life such as a soft safe whisper or a loud fire siren.
- Ask what they chose to write in our non-fiction unit. What will they teach them about their topic?
- What does a mayor do? How is his job different than the governor?
