Week 33

 Dear Parents,

     This week was so full of learning , testing and fun activities! In math we took our assessment on graphing. We also took our end of year CBA. We also started our unit on Personal Finance. In writing we worked on a special Mother’s Day card and writing activity. There is also a wonderful gift for our mother’s which was made in art class. In reading we worked on math skills, a scholastic news as well as reading a nonfiction story in which we monitored our reading and clarified any questions by looking in the text, photos or accessing what we already knew.

 

Library:

 

We are so close to the end of the school year!  We had a wonderful year considering the restrictions!  I was able to wheel around the Book Mobile throughout the whole school to visit each classroom weekly.  I hope that the students enjoyed their library visits!  As I prepare to close down the library I ask that you support me in helping your lovelies return all library books checked out by Friday, May 14^th.  I will be sending home notices of lost or overdue books on Monday, May 17^th.  If your child received one and you can’t find the book you may always send cash or check (payable to Coyote Ridge ES) to replace the book.  You can always reach out to me at hernandezv@lisd.net to work something out.  Have a wonderful summer and please remember that all the public libraries around our city will be having some exciting reading challenges and programs all summer long.  I will send more information on that next week.  Thank you for all your support!

Yearbook:

 

Attention all CRE families there is still time to purchase a yearbook!  The online store has closed but you can still purchase one in the office.  They will accept cash or checks (payable to Coyote Ridge ES) until we run out!  Thank you!

Social Worker S’more

https://www.smore.com/jufr6.  Great information about resources your families can access now and as they head into the summer. See the attached flyer.

 

Metrocrest Services is now registering kiddos for their Sack Summer Hunger program.  Registration is open until May 16^th. It will offer a week’s worth of breakfast, lunch, and snack for each school-aged kiddo and will be delivered to their homes on Saturdays.  There is an attached flyer and a screen shot with information on the program as well as how to apply. The flyer does say that they will need birth certificates or other documents. However, if any of these are a barrier, still encourage the parents to apply. Metrocrest is willing to find a way to work with the families to get them what they need (however, they do have to live in Carrollton to qualify for services)!
