BURLESON ELEMENTARY NEWS #12
NOVEMBER 9, 2023
Howdy Bronco Family! UIL Contest time has arrived. Next week 44 students Kindergarten through 5th grade will travel to Whitharral and Morton to compete. They and their coaches have worked hard to prepare. This is a great opportunity to learn how hard work, time, and dedication help breed success. I expect great things from these contestants. I know they will represent Burleson Elementary, Meadow ISD, and themselves well. Good Luck to them all! Go Broncos!
Remember, you can always find the latest Meadow ISD news on the MISD website and Facebook page, so go check them out! Also, check your kiddo’s backpack and folders for any important paper notes that may have gone home.
Don’t forget to contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions about what is going on in the classroom. We are always here to help.
It’s ALWAYS great to be a Bronco!
Mrs. B
¡SIEMPRE es genial ser un Bronco!

Hello fellow 3rd grade readers,
This week we continued looking at text structures within nonfiction texts. This week we focused on cause and effect and sequential order (chronological order). Students used their background knowledge and annotating skills to identify the different signal words that come with these text structures. As a reader it is important to be able to identify the different text structures to be able to understand the purpose of the text.
In phonics we worked with dictionaries and the coding of words within the dictionary. We also reviewed the floss spelling rule; when a one-syllable root word has a short vowel sound followed by the sound /f/, /l/, or /s/, it is usually spelled with a double consonant.
In grammar, we reviewed plural nouns, contractions, and the simile “sleep like a baby.”
In writing, we continued the writing process and completed our rough draft for our informative writing piece. Each student has done research over their choice of animal and used an online resource to gain more information about their topic. Last week we wrote a topic sentence, picked three facts and details about our topic. This week we worked on our conclusion sentence.
In social studies, we continued with our map and globe unit and practiced using intermediate and cardinal directions on globes and maps.
Reminders:
Spelling tests are on Fridays
Please have your child read for at least 20 minutes a night. Our 4 week goal ends on Friday!
Please check and sign your child’s take home folder every night
Complete daily homework
Thank you for all you do,
Temple Smith
Gracias por todo lo que hacen,

Reminders...
- Spelling Test on Thursday!!
- Read at least 20 minutes EVERY night!
- UIL will take place on Nov. 14th and 16th. I will send home information on the schedule this week.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns!
4to y 5to ELAR Recordatorios... ¡¡Prueba de ortografía el jueves!! ¡Lea al menos 20 minutos CADA noche! UIL se llevará a cabo los días 14 y 16 de noviembre. Enviaré a casa información sobre el horario esta semana. ¡Déjame saber si tienes alguna pregunta o inquietud!
4th & 5th Math
-In 4th grade Math, we are slowly leaving our long division chapter and slowly going in to learning about patterns in equations.
-In 5th grade, we wrapped up our decimal's chapter and we are going in to simplifying and finding equivalent fractions. In fourth grade, all do is add and subtract with common denominators. In 5th grade, we will find a common denominator and then add and subtract. We will also learn to multiply and divide fractions which is also new because we do not multiply and divide fractions in fourth grade. Yay! 🙂
-All 4th and 5th Graders need to practice multiplication math facts every night for 5 minutes. Please, please, please…the numbers and the work is getting more challenging and not knowing multiplication math facts make it seem impossible. Some students shut down or do not turn in assignments.
Thank you for your support,
Stacy Gamez
4to y 5to Matemáticas
-En Matemáticas de 4to grado, poco a poco estamos dejando nuestro largo capítulo sobre división y poco a poco vamos aprendiendo sobre patrones en ecuaciones.
-En quinto grado, terminamos nuestro capítulo sobre decimales y vamos a simplificar y encontrar fracciones equivalentes. En cuarto grado, todo lo que hacemos es sumar y restar con denominadores comunes. En quinto grado, encontraremos un denominador común y luego sumaremos y restaremos. También aprenderemos a multiplicar y dividir fracciones, lo cual también es nuevo porque no multiplicamos ni dividimos fracciones en cuarto grado. ¡Hurra! 🙂
-Todos los estudiantes de 4º y 5º grado deben practicar las operaciones matemáticas de multiplicación todas las noches durante 5 minutos. Por favor, por favor, por favor… los números y el trabajo son cada vez más desafiantes y no saber las operaciones matemáticas de multiplicación hace que parezca imposible. Algunos estudiantes se cierran o no entregan sus tareas.
Gracias por tu apoyo,
Stacy Gamez.
Fifth Grade Science:
We are all into circuits! The students have built multiple circuits to determine if they are parallel or series circuits. That STAAR test is full of circuits so this is a super important unit!
Fourth Grade Science:
We made solar ovens! The students worked so hard constructing all their ovens. We learned about light absorption and thermal energy while we worked! Our s'mores we made in them were so worth the wait!
Ciencias de quinto grado:
¡A todos nos gustan los circuitos! Los estudiantes han construido múltiples circuitos para determinar si son circuitos en paralelo o en serie. ¡Esa prueba STAAR está llena de circuitos, por lo que esta es una unidad súper importante!
Ciencias de cuarto grado: ¡Hicimos hornos solares! Los estudiantes trabajaron muy duro para construir todos sus hornos. ¡Aprendimos sobre absorción de luz y energía térmica mientras trabajábamos! ¡Nuestros s'mores que hicimos en ellos valieron la pena la espera!
