A NOTE FROM DR. COFFMAN
Our very own mayor of Meadow, Natalie Howard, visited with our fifth grade students about the duties and responsibilities of the mayor.
Thank you very much for visiting with our students! They enjoyed talking and learning from you as they are preparing to run for the mayor of Burleson Elementary!
We value student leadership opportunities and learning from great leaders in our community!
Natalie, we appreciate your dedication to our community and school district.
We are always focused on building leadership skills for our students. We have some exciting opportunities coming up. We will hold our mayor election and from there offer applications to students who want to apply for the student leadership team. The student leadership team works with the mayor, the student leadership teacher team, and Dr. Coffman to enhance the school in any way the students feel necessary. We are always looking for opportunities to grow and make Burleson Elementary even better! Fifth-grade students may also apply to work at Broncoville, our AR stores. The students will complete an application and go through an interview process with local community members. All students build leadership skills within their classrooms through classroom jobs and responsibilities. We are building future leaders of tomorrow here at Burleson Elementary!

4TH GRADE
We had a great week discussing author's purpose and diving deep into our books. This is an important STAAR skill that all students need to have mastered.
Reminders...
- Spelling Test every Thursday!
- Sign reading log nightly. Your child must read at least 20 minutes every night.
- Parent Conferences are on October 11th. Mark this in your calendar!
Please let me know if you need anything. Message me on dojo if you have any questions or concerns 🙂
What a busy week! The 4th graders are busy working on decimals, money, and rounding numbers in Math. We have really been working on word problems. Many word problems either have additional and unnecessary information or are multi-step problems. Often, these elements really make these problems challenging, so we have been concentrating on breaking apart the problems and making sure we answer ALL the parts and that we discard information we don't need. 🙂 We will continue to work on word problems as we get into adding and subtracting with decimals (money) next week. (PLEASE help your children review their multiplication facts as well as division.)
In Science, 4th grade has been discussing matter and physical properties. This week we tested the property of magnetism. We have discussed solubility, mass, and density as well. Next week we will get more into solutions versus mixtures and how to tell them apart.
5th grade Science has been busy studying many physical properties of matter. On Wednesday, we measured mass using a triple beam balance (also connecting to Math and number lines,) solubility, and magnetism. The students were able to measure several common objects. Next week we will talk about mixtures and solutions and then move on to force, motion, and energy. Lots of exciting topics!

5TH GRADE
ELAR:
We have been focusing on learning about author's purpose and craft this past week. We've read multiple books and have been looking at figurative language in detail. We've also been looking at the why and the how the authors choose to use this in their writing. We've also been writing their own speeches during class.
Social Studies:
In Social Studies, we have learned about what a Mayor is and does and discussed what it means to be a leader for our school and in life. We are also learning all about the early colonies in the United States. They have been working hard and are excited for our upcoming Mayor election.
Reminders:
- Please send your child with a water bottle every day. This saves time in class when they have water with them.
- Please remember to have them read for a minimum of 20 minutes per night.
- Also, please have them study their spelling words. A new list will go home today, and their test is next Thursday!
- If your child is running for Mayor, the permission slip MUST be sent back by tomorrow, or they cannot run.
Thank you!

Thank you for all your support.
