Wow! I can hardly believe that this is the last week of March. Just a reminder, our campus is closed to all vistors on Tuesday and Wednesday. The 4th and 5th grade students will be taking the STAAR test. This week also begins our last nine weeks of school together. Report cards will come home next Tuesday, April 4th.
Our Field Trip last week was excellent! The Zach Scott Theatre puts on amazing plays. The students really enjoyed figuring out which books were part of the play, Elephant and Piggie Are in a Play!

This week in Reading and Writing Workshop...
We are continuing our work as researchers. We will read and learn about chickens. We will use our research notebooks to organize our learning and the facts we write as we read. This week we will begin synthesizing our information and create a chicken habitat during our science time. We will have to think about the needs of a chicken and how to protect them from predators and weather. We will present our projects when we finish.
This week in Math...
We are relating addition to subtraction. We will think about two parts making a whole and how a whole can be broken down into two parts. We will solve problems where we have to decide if we should use addition or subtraction. We will also participate in a fun activity called a 3 Act Task that involves a situation with Humpty Dumpty.
This week in Science...
We will work on our chicken habitat projects. Our list of "need to knows" will help drive our work. We will design a habitat based on what we have learned about chicken's needs in their environment, food needs and how to protect chickens. We will think about what chicken's primary need for a safe habitat would be (hint: to lay eggs).
Have a great week!
