ELAR
Class Needs: Tissues (Give to homeroom teacher.)
We are so proud of each student and the effort they put into the ELAR STAAR test. Thank you for your support and encouragement from home. Now we sit and wait for the results to come in! 😀
This week, we will start Module 9: Unexpected, Unexplained and read Mr. Linden's Library. In this text, students will confirm that all parts of a story must fit together so that the ending feels satisfying and complete. We will make and confirm predictions, analyze characters, and discuss imagery.
In Social Studies, we will discuss the causes and the effects of The Cold War.
Math
The students will be taking the STAAR MATH TEST on April 29. This is their time to shine!! I am so proud of all of them and want them to show what they know and do their best!!
Homework
The students will be expected to finish 30 minutes in "my path" i-Ready and then do 3 fluency checks in i-Ready this week.
Together, we can help your children reach their full potential!! They are given time during class and Tiger Time, however, they will need time to finish these items at home.
