This Week is a 10! (and Week 10)

Hello Parents! 

Language Arts-

This week we are diving into the beautiful world of poetry. Our exploration will include the types of poetry, the structures of poetry, and the vivid imagery poetry can provide. Ask your students about some of their favorite poems this week. Perhaps it will be one they wrote themselves! 

 
Math
It is that TIME. We are learning tricks and strategies to help us start memorizing our multiplication facts. Be sure to quiz your students on the multiplication facts they are studying this week (factors up to 10)! 

Science

We are focusing our energy on just that...energy! Specifically, we will be investigating mechanical, light, sound, and heat energy. Don't be afraid to ask your student the essential question this week..."How do we know energy is all around us?"

A message from Coach O'Brian...

Dear Christie Cubs-
Want to help PE/Fitness raise money to purchase new equipment while having FUN at the same time?!?!  From now until Friday, December 1st, Coach O'Brian will be selling Speed Stack sets in the Fitness room from 7:35am-8:00am.  There will be NO sells Wednesday, October 25-Friday, October 27th as Coach O'Brian will be at 5th grade camp.  Speed Stacking is an exciting sport where students stack and unstack 12-specially designed cups while activating both sides of the body and brain.  One of our goals, as PE/Fitness teachers, is to promote activity at home through positive alternatives to computer, television and video game screen time.  Sport Stacking is a unique, fun and simple activity that motivates kids to get up and move.  If you would like to purchase a set for your child for an upcoming holiday, please contact Coach O'Brian at 469-752-0880 or by email at angela.obrian@pisd.edu.  Thanks and keep moving!

Set of 12 cups - $20
Bag with mat and timer - $20 (cups are not included as they are a separate purchase)
