Wow! This week flew!

By
This week we had the opportunity to use our flexibility muscle by adjusting our schedule. Starting on a Tuesday was one thing, but in addition, 3rd and 4th grade had two days of benchmark testing too! We are all so proud of the hard work and effort they put into each minute of their tests. Second grade had two special days with Mrs. Blake, and accomplished some grade level specific TEKS. They also created some stage decorations for their upcoming play, Bugs on Parade.


More play info to come, but mark your calendars for the evening show on March 5th at 6:30pm and the school performance March 6th at 8:45am.

All the grades are showing what tremendous readers and writers they are. They are developing theories and talking about our books -- during recess, lunch, and after school!!! They continue to develop their written communication, showing how they connect with their world through stories they choose and write. We look forward to getting back to our normal routines soon!

On Friday, many of our 3rd and 4th graders attended the Bluebonnet Celebration for completing 8 of the Bluebonnet Books. We found out that The Day the Crayons Quit was the Texas winner in the voting, and Odette's Secrets was Kiker's favorite. We competed as teams to answer questions from the books, and we were rewarded with a pair of Skittles when we were right!

We also had one of our favorite activities, Breakfast and the Paper! Nothing better than starting the day with some delicious treats and nonfiction text!




In math we all enjoyed doing fraction this week. Fourth and third graders compared fractions and second graders found equal parts.

Scholastic flyers went home today. Please send any orders to Mrs. Blake by Wednesday or use the link on the top right of the blog to order online.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Reaching Out, Learning about Each Other and the World

By
This week our focus has challenged us to "be the world to one," rather than just "one in the world." Discussions have run deep with how our actions and words truly have an impact on everyone around us. We also talked about how all of us: humanity and nature make the music of this world, and without our unique voice, that music is missing something. Discover what you want to add to the music. Speak up. Say something. We wrestled with big history this week. We celebrated  Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and The Little Rock 5, Ruby Bridges, and the thousands of others who took a stand during the Civil Rights Era. To understand this better, we looked at primary source pictures -- these leaders, their actions, their speeches, their marches -- which brought them to life. We examined timelines and asked powerful questions. Again, another opportunity to look at the world -- right now -- and ask, "How can I be the world to one? What do I want to say that makes...
