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 also continued working on their essays.
Math
In Math, we are learning about the order of operation. We will be working on fun games that help with the development of the order of operations.
SCIENCE
In Science, we continued our Earth Science Unit. This week we studied rapid changes in the earth's surface.
SOCIAL STUDIES
In Social Studies this week, we began our unit on the Civil War. Learners studied the underground railroad.
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.
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.
