Leader of the Week: Adhitram Gutha
Each week one learner in every class will be selected by the designer to be the "LEEder of the Week." Students will be selected by who showed the "Leadership Quality of the Week" best that week.
Our Leadership Quality of the week is "Trustworthiness"
CHARACTER TRAIT OF THE WEEK
LEEdership Quality of the Week:
keeping your word; doing what is right for yourself and others.
A lesson in Leadership:
People trust you when your attitudes, words, and motives align with what you actually choose to do. This includes being honest about mistakes, refusing to gossip and shift blame, and doing things the ethical way (even if it’s quicker to do otherwise).
Lee Quote of the Week:
“Stand with anybody that stands right. Stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.” -Abraham Lincoln
WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
READING & WRITING
Reading this week, we celebrate the completion of Global Read Aloud with choice board activities. Learners created comic strip summaries, designed dresses, recited poems, and practice penmanship.
Math
In Math, learners continue our unit on operations with fractions. Learners explored different web sites to work interactively with fractions. They also enjoyed playing elf games where they worked on graphing.
SCIENCE
In Science, learners are exploring all the different kinds of energy and their uses. This week we completed the ADI investigation on Potential and Kinetic Energy.
SOCIAL STUDIES
In Social Studies this week, we learned about Westward Expansion.
Important Information
Student Zoom Sign In Update: Please make sure that learners log into ZOOM with their g.coppellisd.com accounts starting on Monday, August 31st. If you would like more information, please view this website.
Schoology: As we continue with virtual learning, Schoology is a very important tool during this time. We know some of our learners are using the app, but it is best for them to use the web-based version: https://schoology.coppellisd.com/
Learners need to make sure they are completing and submitting all of their work for each course since that is how we are taking attendance. In addition, although online learning is taking place at home, learners should be starting and finishing their work on their own as they would in-person at school.
