READING: Inside the Unit 6: STAAR & Test Preparation folder on Schoology, your child has several resources to help them prepare for the STAAR test. There's a folder called "What can I review for the STAAR test?" that includes reviews of different skills we have taught this year, as well as vocabulary resources. 
MATH: We will be using Schoology to house many resources that your child can utilize as extra practice. Please look for the folder called "Math Review." Within the Math Review folder there is a folder called "Review Resources - All Topics" that has some great resources. Your child can also work on any page in the orange Go Math workbooks that were sent home at the beginning of the year. Reach out to your child's math teacher if your child never received one!

Our fifth grade Sky Ranch field trip will be April 27-29, 2022. Sky Ranch Camp is located in Van, Texas. Our fifth-grade learners, educators, and chaperones travel there in the spring for three days/two nights for an educational experience that supports our fifth-grade science TEKS. During the trip, the kids participate in outdoor education classes, team building activities, and night activities such as a campfire. It's a fan favorite every year!

We introduced the 5th Grade Talent Show to learners this week and sent home a letter for parents to review. Talent show applications are due April 12th, and auditions will take place after school at 3:15 on April 19th. You can click here to view our presentation we shared with our learners. 

5th Graders & Smart Watches

We have noticed that more and more of our students have been wearing smart watches to school, so we want to take a minute to be clear about expectations for those devices. 

Students may wear their smart watches to school, but they may not use them to text, email, or call anyone during the day. (The same rule applies for their iPads.) This includes parents. Please help us in reinforcing this expectation.  If you need to get in touch with your son/daughter during the day, please email your child's teacher or call the front office. 

We have talked about these expectations with the students. We've let them know that if they are using their smart watch to communicate, they will receive one warning. After that one warning, they will lose the privilege of wearing their smart watches during the day and will have to keep them in their backpacks. 

Thank you for your support!

We have recently started Book Clubs in reading class. Each student has been given a book from our campus Literacy Library. The learners are able to bring the books home so that they can read at home, but it's really important that the books come back to school each day. The students will need to return the books at the end of the unit. 

In addition, each book club group has a certain number of chapters/pages that need to be read each week. Therefore, the learners may need to do some reading at home.
