PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD'S IPAD IS FULLY CHARGED EACH DAY. WE HAVE A LOT OF IPADS COMING TO SCHOOL THAT ARE NOT CHARGED. SOME ACTIVITIES WE DO REQUIRE AN IPAD AND IT CAN BE DIFFICULT IF YOUR CHILD DOESN'T HAVE A WORKING IPAD TO USE. THANK YOU!!
Math - Learners will use objects and pictorial models to solve and generate word problems involving joining, separating, and comparing sets within 20 and unknowns in problems such as

*Play " Guess My Number"
- I am thinking of an even number. It is greater than 17 and less than 19? What number am I thinking?
- I am thinking of a number. It has 2 tens and 3 ones. What number am I thinking?
- I am thinking of a number. It has 1 ten and 15 ones. What number am I thinking?
*Say 5 numbers 2, 12, 22, 32, 42. Ask your child to tell you the next 5 numbers
*Please count with your child daily from any given number. :-) Your child has been working on counting to 120 by fives and tens. Let them show you! :-)
*Skip count by tens from any given number up to 120 or beyond. 25, 35, 45, 55, ...
*Have your child pick a two-digit number. Ask them to tell you what is 10 more or 10 less. Have a discussion with your child. Here are some questions you can ask. What is one more and one less? Is it even or odd? How many tens does your number have? Can you tell me the expanded form? What digit is in one place, etc?
* 10 minutes of Dreambox - Dreambox can be challenging. Please do not tell your child the answers. You are more than welcome to guide them and discuss the problem as they work to find an answer. The program is designed to give your child problems based on their level. Many times, children who are given the answers, become upset because the questions become too hard and they are not ready for such a challenging level.
Spelling/Phonics/Grammar - In spelling, we will learn 2 ways of making the long e sound /e/ and /ee/. We will also be talking about syllables. We will be clapping out words to count how many syllables a word has and then looking at words and deciding where each syllable starts and ends in a word.
Reading - We have all of our reading strategies! Tryin' Lion tells us to keep on trying and to use the other strategies to help solve tricky words. We will use our reading strategies to help solve tricky words when we read to ourselves and when we read to a partner.
**Don't forget to log on to the Kids A-Z (Raz Kids) app. This is a great app that promotes fluency and comprehension!
Writing - We will begin a new unit on poetry writing. We will start by listening to poetry and talking about different types of poems before we dive in to writing them.
Social Studies - We will describe the origins of customs, holidays, and celebrations of the community, state, and nation such as Independence Day and Veterans Day.
Science - We will describe and sort components of soil by size, texture, and color.
Volunteer Background Check Form - REQUIRED TO VOLUNTEER
If you anticipate volunteering on campus at all this year, please fill it out. A new one must be completed each school year.
- School begins at 7:40. If your child arrives after 7:40 they will need to go to the office and receive a tardy pass. Please make sure your child arrives in the building before 7:40 each day.
- Please remember to send your child's Ipad to school every day. Also, please make sure that it is charged every evening. Thank you!!
- Please make sure to look at your child's daily behavior calendar. Our goal is for the children to color in the day with the appropriate behavior. Many times, the children forget. If it is not colored, please assume it is a great day. If you see a teacher comment, we would love for you to have a conversation with your child about what happened to receive the comment. Please know many warnings were given before a comment was written. :-)
- Please review and take out all papers from their take-home folder each day.
Email is the best way to get in touch with your child's teacher:
- Mrs. Sork: msork@coppellisd.com (math)
- Mrs. Vincenzo: lvincenzo@coppellisd.com (language arts)
- Mrs. McCullough: jmccullough@coppellisd.com (science and social studies)
Dismissal
If you change the way your child goes home at the end of the day, please email your teacher. Children will be sent home their "usual" way unless we hear directly from a parent. Also, please make sure that the teacher has responded to your email to ensure that we got the message. If you don't hear back from your teacher, please call the office to let them know about dismissal changes.
Celebrations & Birthday Treats
We will celebrate your child’s birthday with a spotlight on our daily school-wide announcements and a goody bag from the school that contains several items, including a coupon for a free treat in the cafeteria.
If you choose to send birthday food treats to school, they will need to be in their original packaging that lists the ingredients. Please send the treats to our school nurse. She will look over the ingredients and then deliver them to your child's homeroom class. These treats will be sent home with the learners at the end of the day for them to enjoy at home.
Who can visit my child for lunch?
Every Friday families are allowed to eat lunch in the cafeteria.
District guidelines limit lunchroom visitors at the elementary level to parents, immediate family members with written permission from a parent, and campus mentors. Immediate family members are defined as the student’s parents/step-parents, siblings, grandparents, or any person residing in the home. A parent can list the person(s) who have permission to have lunch for the entire school year.
If anyone other than the parent(s) listed as guardians in our district eschool system is eating with the child, we will need written documentation of your approval.
