Thank you to everyone who volunteered to chaperone for our field trip! We have enough volunteers now, so we thank you for volunteering!
What's Happening in the Classroom?
In Reading, the learners finished our unit on theme. We looked at how to infer what the theme of a story, song, and short film would be. We will have the STAAR Reading test May 9th. Learners may practice some vocabulary words at https://quizlet.com/_3de2x0 .
In Language Arts, we focused on adjectives for our mentor sentence. We also learned Greek parts for our spelling lists. Learners also wrote imaginative stories about an alternative ending to the Texas Revolution.
In Math this week, we have been continuing our Geometry activities
with a new Geometry Challenge. Learners have been finding and creating unique
ways to display 2D and 3D shapes and labeling the types of lines and angles on
them. Ask your learner to show you our class Schoology Media Album with photos
from the class!
In Social Studies, learners finished up our unit on the Texas Revolution. We learned about the victory at San Jacinto and how Santa Anna surrendered when he was captured.
In Science, we completed our "Flip the Switch" power
pathway designs and began researching for the TCE Garden Design Challenge that
we will be participating in. The learners will be designing the blueprints and
layout for our TCE garden, as well as finding the area and perimeter of
different garden beds.
