Math:

Third grade began their unit on measurement this week. We will be exploring capacity, volume, weight, and elapsed time. The students enjoyed working with scales and capacity and volume this week.

Fourth grade has had a full week of writing with their Cruise Write Along workshop. We've enjoyed helping out in their classrooms, and chatting with our TAG students about their writing.


5th Grade-

Fifth graders have had a full week of math practice in their regular classrooms for Math Madness.  It's been fun to see them in the hallways, so excited about the things they've been doing to prepare to rock the STAAR next week!


ELA Enrichment & ISP:

1st Grade- 
First graders have worked hard this week at researching for their ISPs.  They have almost completed their research for the projects, and we will be ready to write next week!  Please send in a trifold board for your child ASAP.  We ended the week by looking at some pictures and videos of bees that are kept in my in-laws' backyard.  The kids loved seeing them all, and we are working on making honeybee glyphs of ourselves to celebrate spring's arrival in Austin!

Second grade has been hard at work this week researching their ISP research papers.  They are learning so much!
