Hello 2013

Happy New Year! Welcome 2013! Hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and had some time to relax and enjoy their family.
Last semester was fast and furious with all the learning and school wide events, and the second semester will be the same. We already have a calendar full of events and units planned. Please see below the list of upcoming events and upcoming units:
Monday, Jan. 7 - Austin Toro's Pep Rally
Tuesday, Jan. 8 - Show and Tell Day - would love for your child to share something from their holidays
Thursday, Jan. 10 - Eagle Pride
Friday, Jan. 11 - Third grade Spelling Bee - this will determine who will move on to participate in the school wide bee
Wednesday, Jan. 16 - school wide Spelling Bee and third grade field trip to the Williamson County Museum
Thursday, Jan. 17 - report cards go home
Monday, Jan. 21 - school holiday

In math we will begin the new year studying 2D and 3D shapes. Please continue practicing math facts at home with your child (addition, subtraction, and multiplication).
In writing we will finish our biographies and soon move into writing poetry.  We will also focus on grammar and conventions.
In reading we will begin studying poetry. We will look at the author's craft and gain a good understanding of the poem.
In science we will begin looking at objects in the sky and their positions from the the sun such as the moon and the planets.
This semester we will also continue our word study units, writing in cursive, and practicing test taking strategies as we prepare for the STAAR tests in April.
