What we are learning:
READING & WRITING
Reading this week, we started a new class read aloud, My Side of the Mountain. Before we started the story, we read about the author, the settling and interesting features of the the book. In writing, we came up with our one word to show case our New Year Resolution.
Math
In Math, we began a new unit on coordinate planes. The learners worked on a project designing art using a graphing calculator.
SCIENCE
In Science, we began our Earth Science unit. This week we studied sedimentary rocks.
SOCIAL STUDIES
In Social Studies this week, we learned about the Oregon Trail.
All elementary learners have access to free breakfast and lunch through the remainder of this school year.
Istation and Dreambox
Please make sure that your learner has taken the January ISIP for this month as well.
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!
