What we are learning:
READING & WRITING
Reading this week, we will conclude our Fantasy Unit. Books clubs are creating a project to spotlight their learning. In Language Arts, we worked on a creative writing activity about the day in the life of plant earth.
MATH
In Math, continued working on the area, perimeter, and volume. Learners performed multiple number talks on the subject and began worked on review sets to reinforce their learning.
SCIENCE
In Science, began our unit on life science. We learned about the food chain by playing a fun interactive game called eat or be eaten.
SOCIAL STUDIES
In Social Studies, we finished a two-week project studying events of the 20th century.
All elementary learners have access to free breakfast and lunch through the remainder of this school year.
Istation and Dreambox
We will be taking the February ISIP next week and goal setting.
Important Information
Istation: At the beginning of every month, learners will take their monthly Istation assessments. They know the routine for this - there are 4 parts to this assessment - Vocabulary, Spelling, Comprehension (reading a story & answering questions), and Fluency. It is very important that you DO NOT assist your learner with this assessment.
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.
Here is a step by step guide on how to complete this action
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.
Lee Specials Quarterly Newsletter: Our specials team puts out a newsletter each week. Check it out!
