Play it Safe Lesson (Virtual Zoom)
This week our counselor taught all children about personal safety using the “Play it Safe” program. “Play it Safe” is a child abuse awareness and prevention program for children. It teaches children to protect themselves by recognizing, reacting to, and reporting potentially dangerous situations.
For more information, please visit the Play it Safe website: https://playitsafe.org/index.php. Also, feel free to contact Mrs. Garvin our counselor, at agarvin@coppellisd.com if you have any questions.

Family Fun Math in February
Our amazing Coppell ISD District MATH Coordinator, Mary Kemper, has created a family MATH FUN CALENDAR for February. Have fun with our math challenges.
What we are learning:
READING & WRITING
Reading this week, we continued our read aloud, My Side of the Mountain. Learners are enjoying learning about surviving in the wilderness. We also will continue researching a topic in our reading Argument and Advocacy unit. They developed a research plan and started taking notes.
Math
In Math, we are learning about prime and composite numbers. We worked on an exemplar this week, learners did a great job on this assignment.
SCIENCE
In Science, we continued our Earth Science Unit. This week we studied renewable and nonrenewable resources.
SOCIAL STUDIES
In Social Studies this week, we began our unit on the Civil War. Learners watch an introduction and completed an activity on reflecting on what they learned.
All elementary learners have access to free breakfast and lunch through the remainder of this school year.
Istation and Dreambox
We will be taking the February ISIP next week and goal setting.
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.
