                 Language Arts

In Elar we will continue our research using our nonfiction strategies. We will continue to read non fiction and study the different structures author use when writing nonfiction.

At home ask your student to read some nonfiction to you! They can tell you about the nonfiction text features that they see and why the text feature is important.  Another skill we are working on  is the text structure the author used in the text- so ask them if they can figure out the structure and why the author chose to use it!!  We are so proud at how hard they are working on this skill!!!

In Spelling we will look at the  “i before e” pattern.
In Grammar we will look at prepositions.

  Next week in math, we will will look at Input-Output Tables

A Note from Nurse Crenshaw

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

Background Checks

We ask that all families complete a volunteer background check at the start of the year. They do not carry over from year to year. Since the background checks take time to process, we ask that everyone complete one in case any type of volunteering opportunity (class field trip, Dad's Club, Room parent, class volunteer, field day, etc.) arises during the year that you are interested in. Please click on the link below to complete it.
