A NOTE FROM MRS. B
Howdy Bronco Family! It’s hard to believe December it literally….TOMORROW. The chaos and hustle of the of the last few weeks of the semester is here. The students continue to work hard each and every day while the teachers do their thing. So far the school year has been an amazing one. I have witnessed growth in our students, have seen them so some amazing things, and watched them all have fun with learning. Our teachers are pretty amazing as well. They come to school each day prepared to love your kids, to challenge them, and to build their success. I can’t wait to close out an awesome first semester and see what adventures the second one hold for us all.
Remember, you can always find the latest Meadow ISD news on the MISD website and Facebook page, so go check them out! Also, check your kiddo’s backpack and folders for any important paper notes that may have gone home.
Don’t forget to contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions about what is going on in the classroom. We are always here to help.
It’s ALWAYS great to be a Bronco!
Mrs. B
¡Hola familia Bronco! Es difícil creer que diciembre sea literalmente… MAÑANA. El caos y el ajetreo de las últimas semanas del semestre ya está aquí. Los estudiantes continúan trabajando duro todos los días mientras los maestros hacen lo suyo. Hasta ahora el año escolar ha sido increíble. He sido testigo del crecimiento de nuestros estudiantes, les he visto cosas increíbles y los he visto divertirse aprendiendo. Nuestros profesores también son bastante sorprendentes. Vienen a la escuela todos los días preparados para amar a sus hijos, desafiarlos y lograr su éxito. No puedo esperar a cerrar un primer semestre increíble y ver qué aventuras nos depara a todos el segundo. Recuerde, siempre puede encontrar las últimas noticias de Meadow ISD en el sitio web de MISD y en la página de Facebook, ¡así que échales un vistazo! Además, revise la mochila y las carpetas de su hijo para ver si hay notas importantes en papel que puedan haberse ido a casa. No olvide comunicarse con el maestro de su hijo si tiene alguna pregunta sobre lo que sucede en el salón de clases. Siempre estamos aquí para ayudar.
¡SIEMPRE es genial ser un Bronco!

Hello 3rd grade family,
This week in reading, we worked on summarizing nonfiction texts. Summarizing nonfiction texts is an important skill that students learn in the 3rd grade. By summarizing nonfiction texts students have a better understanding of what they read. There are two important four important steps when completing a summary of a nonfiction text.
Identify the text
Find a strong verb
Include the topic
End with the big idea
Students found this fun as they were being problem solvers to open the “safe.”
In phonics, we were introduced to diphthongs (oi,oy,ou,ow). These combinations come together so fast making them one syllable.
For writing this week, we are just practicing writing complete sentences and paragraphs when writing our summaries for our nonfiction texts.
In social studies,.
Reminders:
Spelling test on Friday, December 1st
Please make sure to check and sign your child’s take home folder every night.
AR goals are very important, students must reach this 9 week goal of 10 points to walk in the AR parade.
The AR goal ends December 20th
So with that, please read with your child for at least 20 minutes every night!
Thank you for all you do,
`Temple Smith

5TH GRADE - MRS. GAMEZ & MRS. GUZMAN
4th & 5th Math
-In 4th grade Math, we have started with fractions this week. I brought in some sweet manipulatives to start the much-dreaded chapter and to help us break down our fraction learning.
-In 5th grade, we have barely started to multiply and divide fractions which is new to us because we do not multiply and divide fractions in fourth grade. So far these 5th graders are thinking it's way to easy. Yay! 🙂
-All 4th and 5th Graders need to practice multiplication math facts every night for 5 minutes. Please, please, please…the numbers and the work is getting more challenging and not knowing multiplication math facts make it seem impossible. Some students shut down or do not turn in assignments.
Thank you for your support,
Stacy Gamez
4to y 5to Matemáticas
En Matemáticas de 4º de primaria, esta semana hemos empezado con fracciones. Traje algunos dulces manipulativos para comenzar el tan temido capítulo y para ayudarnos a analizar nuestro aprendizaje de fracciones. -En quinto grado, apenas hemos comenzado a multiplicar y dividir fracciones, lo cual es nuevo para nosotros porque no multiplicamos ni dividimos fracciones en cuarto grado. Hasta ahora, estos alumnos de quinto grado piensan que es demasiado fácil. ¡Hurra! 🙂 -Todos los estudiantes de 4º y 5º grado deben practicar las operaciones matemáticas de multiplicación todas las noches durante 5 minutos. Por favor, por favor, por favor… los números y el trabajo son cada vez más desafiantes y no saber las operaciones matemáticas de multiplicación hace que parezca imposible. Algunos estudiantes se cierran o no entregan sus tareas. Gracias por tu apoyo,
Stacy Gamez.

A NOTE FROM OUR NURSE - MRS. KAITLYN
I can't believe it is already December!
This semester has flown by. I finished conducting hearing and vision screenings and have sent out referral letters if the screening indicated that your child requires further evaluation. If your child is already being seen by a professional, please sign the letter and return it to the office. If you are making an appointment for your child to be seen, take the paperwork with you to the visit and have them fill it out and then return it to the office. Flu season is in full swing. If your child is running fever, having diarrhea, or vomiting, please keep them at home to avoid spreading illness. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
Thanks for all that you do,
Kaitlyn Armendarez
¡No puedo creer que ya sea diciembre!
Este semestre ha pasado volando. Terminé de realizar exámenes de audición y visión y envié cartas de referencia si el examen indicó que su hijo requiere una evaluación adicional. Si su hijo ya está siendo atendido por un profesional, firme la carta y devuélvala a la oficina. Si está programando una cita para que vean a su hijo, lleve la documentación a la visita, pídale que la complete y luego la devuelva a la oficina. La temporada de gripe está en pleno apogeo. Si su hijo tiene fiebre, diarrea o vómitos, manténgalo en casa para evitar la propagación de enfermedades. Si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en comunicarse.
Gracias por todo lo que haces,
Kaitlyn Armendárez
