Learning Goals for the week...
Reading, Writing, & Social Studies

Reading and Writing are combined during this study because we are writing in response to what we are reading as well as learning how to write a complete opinion. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT STUDENTS SHOULD BE READING A MINIMUM OF 120 MINUTES PER WEEK AT HOME.
There is not a spelling or vocabulary quiz this week. There WILL BE Author Study Homework Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Homework should not take more than 10 mins.
Social Studies: This week we will be looking at the causes of the Revolutionary War and The Declaration of Independence. This is in preparation for out next DBQ titled “How did the Constitution Guard Against Tyranny?”

Message from the PTA...
Have you joined PTA yet? If you were a Member last year, thank you very much! Please remember all PTA memberships are yearly and we hope you will join again. Your donation does not commit you for any volunteer time but does give an opportunity, as parents, to make an impact on our children's lives and education. How does joining benefit your child/family? Clara Love PTA helps fund teacher grants, Field Day, STAAR snacks, Muffins with Mom, Donuts with Dad, Fall Festival, Holiday Shop, Ho Ho Ho Down, teacher luncheons, birthday gifts for the teachers, spring dance, and many other programs throughout the school year. We are also trying to raise funds for a playground shade covering over the large playground and fundraisers alone have not been successful enough. Please check your child's Thursday folder for a membership form or request one in the office.
Thank you, Clara Love PTA
