Upcoming Lesson's in Unit 5
Unstoppable Week - Nov. 13 - 17
Unit 5 students will be participating in Unstoppable Week, which replaces what was previously known as “Red Ribbon Week” at many schools. Each day of the week, we will focus on a “Superpower” that will assist your child in reaching their full potential. Our goal is to make it fun and engaging! We encourage you to build it up, help them pick out clothing to go along with the activities we will be engaging in each day of the week, and ask them all about it when they return home.
Lessons will focus on making bike and pedestrian safety, healthy choices, managing daily challenges, building positive relationships, reducing stress, and using medication appropriately.
Literacy Corner
Read-a-thon
Here at Carlock Elementary School, we have been working on updating the space and the books in the IMC to make it a warm and welcoming environment for everyone. Our goal is to make the IMC as user-friendly as possible, as well as get books and materials that the students want to read and will help support the curriculum that is being taught in the classroom. One of the main areas in the IMC that still needs updating is the nonfiction section. The students love to read nonfiction, but the way the nonfiction section is arranged and the books we have need an overhaul. Our goal with the Read-a-thon is to help bring this section back to life!
Our school Read-A-Thon begins on Monday, November 13, 2023, and is sure to be a fun and exciting event.
We understand that your time is valuable. We also know that providing the best education for your child is important. That's why we encourage everyone to activate their student's Read-A-Thon account as soon as possible. The instructions are straightforward, making it quick and hassle-free, and it should take less than 5 minutes of your time.
This account will serve as a hub for recording and monitoring your child's progress as a Reader in the event and for you to share their Read-A-Thon message with friends and family. Use the link below to activate your student's Reader account:
