Week of October 11-15

 

                                   

October 11th: No School

October 12th: Start of 2nd 9 weeks

October 13th: Picture Retakes

Language Arts:  This week we will begin engaging learners in nonfiction texts and learn how nonfiction texts are organized. * We will be decorating our writing journals this Tuesday when we return to campus. We will have supplies for learners, but your child is welcome to bring any items to help decorate as well ( stickers, wassi tape, pictures, etc.) 

Math: We will finish our unit on multiplication this week. From there we will move into division.

Social Studies: We will continue our unit on unit on European exploration and colonization of Texas and focus on the motivation for exploration.

Science:  We will begin our investigation of electrical energy.  This week we will learn to light a bulb with a battery and wires.  We will also differentiate between conductors and insulators.

At this time, we will not be assigning any homework. If you are looking for extra practice or resources, we would always encourage students to read at home! (Kids are more motivated to read when they are reading books they've chosen and find interesting.) In addition, students have access to online resources such as iStation, Raz Kids. For math, we would love for students to login to Dreambox or ReflexMath at home and complete lessons.

We are all back in person starting Tuesday, October 12th!!

Each learner needs to have the following items each day:

1. Water Bottle

2. Snack (if your child will be buying one from the cafeteria, this needs to be done as soon as they get to school - not during class)

3. Fully charged iPad - please make sure it is charging at night by double checking the battery icon.

4. If your child brings lunch from home, we are encouraging them to bring their own silverware as the cafe supply is low. 

Free Lunch:

The free lunch consists of a full meal - entree, milk / juice, fruits and veggies.  Other items, such as "seconds," chips, snacks, ice cream, and bottled water are NOT part of the free lunch program and will be charged.
