- We will take our Math STAAR on May 9th and Reading STAAR May 10th.
Spring Conferences
- We do not get a designated day for spring conferences like we do in the fall, but we will be able to offer conference times (either face to face or via phone/email) to those that are interested.
- We sent home conference interest forms last week, and we requested that they be returned by Monday, April 18th. However, due to the fact that we received so few of them back, we've extended the deadline to Tuesday, April 19th. Even if you are not interested in a conference, please let us know because we want to be sure we've given everyone a chance to have a conference. Thank you for your help & support with this.
Engineering Extravaganza

The citizenship quality for April is Effort.
Each week, Town Center focuses on one life principle, or guiding character quality. The life principles for each week are discussed on the morning announcements and will be posted on our agendas.
What are we learning?
Math & Science
In math, the learners are investigating the different parts of lines, types of angles, and how these relate to the geometric shapes.
In science, the learners are participating in an engineering experience where they get to work collaboratively to create a hot air balloon. They will be investigating the different parts of ecosystems.
In reading, we will focus on nonfiction texts this week. Learners will be able to choose from a variety of nonfiction passages based on their interests.
Social Studies
In social studies, we are wrapping up our study of the Texas Revolution. The learners created word clouds to demonstrate what they've learned about various vocabulary terms. Ask your learner about the different Mind Missions they've participated in during this unit. They've designed rain protection devises, toys, and disguises!
