Math:
A big round of applause for our scholars completing their STAAR testing this week! They have been hard at work reviewing math concepts and building skills all this year and did a great job persevering through their testing. We finished off the week with practice with factors and multiples and will continue reviewing into next week using fun cuisenaire rod manipulatives to practice arrays and fractions!
ELA:
This past week in ELA, scholars continued their adventure through Oz. We took a brief break in our journey to show our knowledge on the STAAR Reading test. Then, we got right back to it! Scholars have shown such joy with this familiar story. They encountered fighting trees, lands where everything is made of fine China, and terrifying giant spiders. Next week, we will wrap up Dorothy’s story as we finish the book. We will reflect on some of the major themes and ideas from the novel with a writing activity. Scholars will also continue to practice analyzing sentences as well as memorizing Paul Revere’s Ride. We look forward to another amazing week!
History:
Hello historians! A huge congratulations to students for completing their first ever week of STAAR; we are so proud of their hard work! This week, we only had one day dedicated to history and we used that day to talk about the Declaration of Independence. We had a great time tricking students in the beginning of the lesson with a fake “break-up” letter, and then spoke about the impact of the Declaration. Next week, we are quickly wrapping up the Revolution and moving into a different revolution: The Texas Revolution. Have a great weekend.
Science:
Hello scientists! Another congrats are in order for our “STAAR” scholars for completing a week of state testing! Thank you so much for supporting students throughout the week. This week, we met for two days and focused entirely on the project. On Monday, students spent the day working on their projects, before turning them in on Friday. I loved hearing students present their projects and share what they learned about renewable energy. I will have projects graded by the beginning of the last week of school! Have a great weekend.
