April 8th - 12th

What are we learning?

Math: In math this week, learners will partition objects into equal parts and name the parts, including halves, fourths, and eights and identify examples and non-examples. Learners will learn to explain that more fractional parts used to make a whole, the smaller the part; and the fewer the fractional parts, the larger the part. Using concrete models to count fractional parts beyond one whole using words and recognize how many parts it takes to equal one whole.

Reading: In reading workshop this week, learners will continue with the elements of tall tales and myths. In writing workshop, learners will write their own legend, work on dictionary skills, and continue with cursive handwriting.

Science: In science this week, learners will observe, record, and compare how the physical characteristics and behaviors of animals help them meet their basic needs such as fins help fish move and balance in water. Gulping goldfish will be one of the many experiments that your child will be observing and recording about in their science journal in the upcoming week!

Social Studies: In social studies this week, learners will explore the process of how natural resources become a finished product.

We will be administering the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) to learners on Tuesday, April 9th and Wednesday, April 10th. Fifth grade will take Math on Tuesday and Reading on Wednesday. Fourth grade will take writing on Tuesday. During these days, all other grade levels will continue with a regular school day.

It is important that we have an environment that is free of interruptions to ensure that our students have the opportunity to do their best on these important days. In order to ensure a secure and quiet testing environment, no visitors will be allowed on campus for all grade levels.

Due to this, we will not allow lunch visitors these days.

You may contact the office on these days if you are in need of assistance and they will be happy to help you. 

Thank you for your cooperation in helping our campus and our students to be successful on our testing days!
