Thanks to our awesome volunteers, your children were able to learn about being a Pharmasist, Office Manager, and a Dentist.  A big THANK YOU to the following volunteers......

STAAR is finished!!

What an exhausting week!!  I am so very proud of all of the students!!  They each worked so hard this week to show the state what they know.  It's all downhill from here.  :)

I am going to be doing a Mother's Day surprise gift from the students and I'm asking that the kids each bring in an 8-12oz mason jar by next Wednesday.  If you are willing to donate an extra one for kids that are not able to that would be great!!

Homework will resume next week and will be a review of information from the year.  Only 6 more weeks 'till summer!!


Finally I saw this video on the Superintendent from Wylie ISD's Facebook page.  Quite and interesting take.

A.R. Points

We are trying something new for A.R.  I will be keeping a log of what each student is reading, how many points it is worth, the level, and number of pages. The students will be assigned a number of pages to read each night and will be given a due date for their A.R. Test. If a student does not take the test by the assigned date they will be required to miss out on recess until they have taken their AR test.   Please check with your child to make sure they're reading each night and working toward their goal.

Place Value with Decimals

Today we spent going back and reviewing place value with decimals. You can continue to practice place value with decimals at home by looking at prices of products. Have them tell you the value of the change using the terms tenths and hundredths, ie 12 dollars and 35 cents is the same as 12 and 35 hundredths, ten dollars and 2 cents is the same as ten and two hundredths.

Grade reminder

Please check your child's binder daily for graded papers. Students may correct any assignment to bring up their grade. It is the student's responsibility to correct the assignment at home and return it to have points added back.
