Week 35

Dear families,

This coming week we'll have the online STAAR assessment.  The campus will be closed to all visitors during the test days May 17-19.  Please be sure you read the LivingTree announcement from the school office. Let me know if you have any questions.

Please make sure our students get a good night's sleep, have a nutritious breakfast, wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater just in case the air conditioning is a little too cold.

Remember children,  I won't be the test admin for my own students. Be sure you take every single step I taught you carefully and patiently to do your best. You have worked very hard the entire school year, this is the time for you to shine! 

I have organized this week's main focus in a chart as follows:

Good Luck!

Thank you for ALL you do!

Week 33

Dear families, 

I hope you enjoyed the Dad's Club Crawfish Boil on Sunday. If you were there, you may have noticed a hilarious and clever poster designed by Hernan Benito Juarez, which I attached here too. Congratulations again Hernan. You have done a fantastic job!

STARR is one week away. We are getting ready for it.  Making connections to prior knowledge and renewing our skills, building stamina while pacing our time during our work, analyzing each question and answer choices carefully, taking time to break down the process by using all the necessary strategies.  Asking the teacher to read the questions for you during the test is allowed since it's a math test.  Please do not rush through your work, read, understand, think of the ways to do it, and then answer.

To better prepare our students to perform to their best level this week, each day we will have a number of the day, a main focus skill, a Kamico unit for the class, and mini lessons and interactive games (or challenges) for small groups as in the following chart.

Have a great week!
