April

Hello Parents,

This month has been packed with action so far!  We are learning about fantasy writing in reading and also reviewing for the STAAR test coming up on May 9 (Math STAAR test is on May 8).  During writing, we are connecting our lessons from reading and encouraging the students to write fantasy stories.  This has given them the opportunity to creatively express themselves in story writing, which is totally different from the expository essays we worked on for so long.  In social studies, the students have just begun their Texas Hero Project presentations.  They have been spectacular so far!  Thanks for helping your children with planning, technology, and research.  I'm excited to see all the other project presentations.  I know they will be great.

As a side note, be on the lookout for a field trip permission slip for the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum.  We will be traveling there in early May.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.  Thanks for your continued support!
