WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
READING & WRITING
Reading this week, we started a new class read aloud, My Side of the Mountain. We researched information about the author, the setting, and the interesting features of the book. In writing, we came up with our one-word to showcase 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.
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.
