Collaboration Week
The purpose of this unit is to help students develop the skills of advanced readers in analyzing and interpreting literature. The questions promote big idea, themes, and concepts, and provide opportunities for students to question the author, analyze the author's and illustrator's craft, and make connections to self and the real world. Questions will be used for journaling and require responses that go beyond the literal meanings or the answers found in the text as they invite analysis of character, events, and interactions; synthesis of ideas; and evaluation of relationships, actions, consequences, and alternatives.
We will be analyzing plot, theme, character traits and many more. Also the students will be classifying snowflakes, and conduct a snowflake experiment.
Birthday Celebrations
We are excited for your child’s birthday and want the day to be as special as possible! If your child is choosing to bring a treat to share with classmates, in celebration of his/her birthday, please note the following details:
We allow students to distribute these items immediately following, or during, recess. This means that the items must be delivered to the school BY 12:00pm, on that day. As we do not have a way to cut anything, please ensure that the treats selected are store bought, “single serve”, and do not require cutting. Suggested items include: cupcakes, donuts, cookies (not a cookie cake), etc. Additionally, please be mindful of allergies related to nuts and ensure that the items DO NOT CONTAIN NUTS! Including napkins with the treats would also be greatly appreciated. In order to assist you with the quantities needed, please note we have 22 students in each of our classes
Texas History
Next week the students will be recording their skits and making their murals. Please send in anything materials they may need Monday.
