IN THE CLASSROOM

Here is a look at what we are doing this week.

 

 

MATH - Introducing Decimals and Connecting Whole Number Addition and Subtraction Concepts to Decimals. This unit has two goals. The first is to introduce students to the decimal form of numbers. Students learn that these numbers are another way to represent fractional parts and that they are an extension of the place value system. The second goal in this unit is for students to make connections between whole number addition and subtraction and decimal addition and subtraction. Namely, we want students to see that it is all about joining and separating quantities, regardless of whether those quantities are whole numbers or decimals.

​

SCIENCE- Endangered Species - Students will learn about life cycles, ecosystems, food webs, and adaptations as they research a threatened or endangered species of Texas.

 

SOCIAL STUDIES - We will follow the history of Texas as it becomes it own republic and manages the challenges of a new nation. Later when Texas joins the United States, students will learn about the Civil War and how it changed the identity of our state.
