In Reading, We will continue are 10 Day of STAAR Reading Review. This week we will review Main Idea, Inferencing and Non-Fiction. We will also have fun Grammar Review ports!  Do not forget our Fun Camp Read A Lot day on April 16, the day after STAAR!!!

Math
This week in math, we will continue our unit on fractions.  We will also begin our last unit learning all about Geometry.   
    • Identify and draw one or more lines of symmetry, if they exist, for a 2D figure.
    • Classify 2D figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines or of angles of a specified size. 
    • Use math vocabulary to compare and contrast shapes based on lines and angles.
    • Determine the approximate measures of angles in degrees to the nearest whole number using a protractor. 
    • Illustrate the measure of an angle as the part of a circle whose center is at the vertex of the angle and use degrees as the units to measure an angle.
    • Orally explain the process of using and reading a protractor.
  Next week in math, we will begin review for the STAAR math test.  We will do different activities to review concepts as well as work in our Step Up To The TEKS workbook.


Social Studies
In Social Studies, we will continue to understand how cattle ranching provided economic opportunities to Texans.


Science
  • Identify slow changes to Earth’s surface, such as weathering, erosion, and deposition from water, wind, and ice.
  • I can observe slow changes to Earth’s surface, such as weathering, erosion, and deposition from water, wind, and ice.
          

The Zoo Crew
The "Zoo Crew Truck" will be at our Spring Picnic/30th Year Celebration as a fun item for kids which we also get a profit from. In addition to the evening, they will come by earlier that day for any children who order online so they can get their animal made and skip the lines that evening. It's basically a traveling Build-a Bear type experience for kids. We would not do whole class visits like we did for the Kona Ice. This would just be the kids that ordered ducking out of class briefly during a set time frame.

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.

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.
