Message from the Spanish Teacher

HOLA from Ms DeLeon-

All 3rd-5th graders will be presenting their group country projects March 3rd-6th. Please ask your scholar what they researched and if they are ready.

After Spring Break during Specials on Thursday, March 20th, they  will be having their Mercados. This is the day they get to 'buy' and 'sell' gently used books, school supplies, toys, stuffed animals etc. Some scholars  may like to bring food or make a recipe from their country to 'sell' for extra 'dolares' to spend on that day. If you need any further information about either, please email me directly or go to my webpage/blog/Facebook below.
Thank you!
Ms DeLeon​

 

Book Fair

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming next week.  We went today and previewed it and made a wish list. Your child's wish list is on their iPad in the Library Folder in the Book Fair app.  You can then click on the bottom where the tab says Wish List.  Your child will be allowed to start shopping on Monday!

Poetry PBL

Today we started a Poetry PBL!  I have attached a letter explaining the PBL and the rubrics.  The children and I are very excited about this and I can't wait to see what they learn and produce with poetry!

The letter explaining the PBL.

The rubrics:

Engineering week

This week is Engineering Week.  Today we had a special visitor, Mr. McLean, an engineer from Lockheed Martin.  He came and spoke to the third graders about engineering and all of the different types of engineers!

He also explained what he does at Lockheed Martin and showed them pictures of the airplanes/ jets that they make.  The kids had a great time and asked him really good questions!

Valentines day fun!

Today was our party, and we had a lot of fun and food!  Here's some pictures from the party........

It's snowing.......translates to "having fun!"

What kind of school day would it be if it was snowing and you did not get to go out in it.   Well we turned this lovely Texas weather into a teaching moment!   

So how cold do you think our thermometer read?????   You guessed it....freezing cold!

While we were out there we decided to try and catch a few snowflakes.....with our tongues!

Then it was time to go back in :(

But shhhhh!  Don't tell the kids but while they were at specials, the teachers decided to have a little fun :)

We won!!!

The kids were so excited today and so was I - we got one of the highest class participation in our last Spring Creek night!  The children are coming home with a bag of goodies today!  Thank you for your support :)
