Language Arts
This week, we will begin our STAAR review during our class time. The students will be increasing their reading time to help build stamina for the testing day. The students will use their reading group books to complete a variety of activities on Monday and Wednesday.
Dr. Skeen, our Academic Coach, will be spending some time with us reviewing several different skills. This is such a treat to have her join our classes, and we are so excited to have her with us! On Friday, we will have Field Day with an altered schedule. Please make sure you send your child with a water bottle on Friday for Field Day.
Homework
This week our homework will be for your child to read and write a summary over their reading for Monday-Thursday evening's reading. This will be due on Friday, March 10th.
Social Studies
On Tuesday, students will be taking the district check point test. This test is will cover content that was taught this 2nd and 3rd quarter. Students were given a study guide last Tuesday, February 28th. Please make sure your child is studying for this test. There will be no Geography homework this week.
On Thursday, students will be taking the math STAAR Release test. This test will show the math teachers what concepts the students need to work on before the actual STAAR test. Please make sure your child gets a good night's sleep the night before and eats a healthy breakfast Thursday morning.
When we return from Spring Break, we will begin a unit on the Expansion of the United States. We will be discussing how the expansion of railroads changed American life and how in the 1800's, the United States became a major world power.
