WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
READING & WRITING
We are working hard in our book clubs and developing new ideas as we read. Learners are writing about reading by interpreting text and linking ideas to larger theories. We are also identify multiple themes in our reading.
This week we continued working on Decimal Place Value. Learners demonstrated their knowledge of place value using the periodic table. They did an amazing job on this activity. We finished the week with a DESMO activity on ordering decimals.
SCIENCE
We begun our unit on force and motion. Learners completed multiple activities in the Generation Genius program. Here they classified matter focusing on measurable, testable and observable physical properties. They also were able to view experiments on the properties matter.
SOCIAL STUDIES
Learners continue studying the regions of the 13 colonies. They created a brochure of their favorite region.
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.
