Ashley Elementary Jump Rope Team

 We had so much fun watching them perform this afternoon. They are such a talented group!

Combining Sentences

Today we worked on combining simple sentences to form a compound sentence. 

Simple sentences: 

   Rachel ate applesauce.

   Sara ate some too. 

Compound sentence: 

Rachel ate applesauce, and Sara had some too. 

STAAR

Just a couple of reminders for the STAAR testing Tuesday and Wednesday:

 

*Please have your student here at or before7:50am.

* Please pack an easy-to-open, non-messy snack and water bottle.

* No visitors are allowed in the building on testing days. We will be testing from 8:30-12:30 on both days.

* A good night’s sleep and a big hug in the morning will set your student up for success! They have worked incredibly hard and this is their time to shine!

Rachel Delevoryas

Today we listened to a song titled, "Rachel Delevoryas" during Reading. The students listened for changes the character experienced as well as the changes in the relationships she had with her peers. I heard so many good conversations at their table groups about this song. Afterwards, the students drew what they thought Rachel looked like as a child and as a adult. They also wrote how they thought Rachel felt during each stage of her life.

Mr. Hornback and his son, Will, talked about how the American Heart Association helps people. Our superintendent, Dr. Lyons, made an appearance as well.

Determining Importance

Ask your child how the contents of my purse connected to their reading today. :)
