We began our last rotation of our environmental awareness project this week. Armed with prior knowledge from our previous project weeks, we dove right in to our final leg. We are building a portfolio to present to audiences in the coming weeks. It's exciting to see our learning in action...we've been watching our water usage, talking with others about our concerns and what we've learned, and most importantly, asking questions. Questions which can become beginnings for change.
Second Grade took their End of Year Benchmark this week, eager to put their strategies into action. We've been brushing up on homonym and more summarization in both nonfiction and fiction. Third and Fourth have been hard at work drafting both narrative and expository texts, preparing them for presentation on Friday. We are learning grit and determination as we work through multiple drafts before saying, "I'm done."
In math this week 4th graders had fun playing Jeopardy to review for our STARR math test that is on Monday, May 9th. The 3rd graders also review for the STAAR test using dry erase boards and vocabulary review. Second graders ended their unit on telling time, had an assessment, and ended the week with Sunshine math.
Second grade entomologists have been learning all about the changes their caterpillars are going through in the mysterious chrysalis stage of their butterfly life cycle. We expect to see butterflies emerge in the early part of next week, so stay tuned for some incredible insect details!
Thanks again for the many treats for teacher appreciation...know that the feeling is mutual, as we are so grateful to have each of you a part of the SBLC family.
Happy Friday!

Third grade biologists have used nonfiction to learn more about organism adaptations. We've been learning and identifying how camouflage, mimicry, and structural adaptations help animals survive.
Fourth grade historians have traveled back in time to learn about Spanish Missions in Texas. Research has taught us what life was like in the missions and the impact of their establishment in Texas history.
