Howdy Bronco Family! To quote one of my favorite childhood authors, Dr. Seuss… “The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” I truly believe that reading opens the world to everyone. You can experience fantasy and adventure. You can learn about history and our world. You can be entertained. Reading is also an extremely vital piece of growing our kiddos here in school and leading them to successes. And, one doesn’t stop reading just because they are no longer in school. So, in honor Dr. Seuss’s birthday on March 2nd, I encourage you and your kiddos to gather some books and read them together. Get lost in the pages and let your minds wander!
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!

Hello parents,
We’ve been super busy in kindergarten.
-Phonics- We will be learning about voiced and unvoiced sound for digraph th. The students will continue to work on generating rhyming words, accents, alphabetizing and omitting initial/final sounds to create new words.
-Math - The students will be listening to stories and then determining whether it is an addition or subtraction sentence. The students will be listening to key words and then drawing pictures to solve the problem.
Reading- We will continue to work on comprehension questions after reading and students will continue to think, pair and share to answer those questions. We will continue to identify genre, and type of genre, author’s purpose and point of view.
Sight words-I will be testing students on all the sight words starting this week.
AR – read the AR library books to your child for at least 20 minutes so they can take an AR test. The end of the third quarter is almost over. Let’s keep working to meet our goal.
Please call the office, or message me on Class Dojo, if your child is sick.
Thanks for all your support.
Mrs. Sanchez
Reminders……
· Phonics homework on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights.
· Test over all 115 sight words in the bag. I will let each student know what day they are testing. I will also send a parent message on Class Dojo.
· The next spelling test will be after spring break.
· Make sure your child brings their library book to school and is ready to take a test.
Thanks!
· Tarea de fonética los lunes, martes y miércoles por la noche.
· Pruebe las 115 palabras reconocibles a la vista en la bolsa. Le informaré a cada estudiante qué día tomarán el examen. También enviaré un mensaje a los padres en Class Dojo.
· La próxima prueba de ortografía será después de las vacaciones de primavera.
· Asegúrese de que su hijo traiga su libro de la biblioteca a la escuela y esté listo para tomar un examen.
¡Gracias!
Just a few reminders:
Spelling test on Tuesday March 5th
Reading logs are due every day, points will be taken off if they are not returned daily.
We are so close to meeting our AR goals, please continue to encourage your child to read every night.
Thank you,
Mrs.Alaniz
Sólo algunos recordatorios: Prueba de ortografía el martes 5 de marzo Los registros de lectura deben entregarse todos los días; se quitarán puntos si no se devuelven diariamente. Estamos muy cerca de alcanzar nuestras metas de AR; continúe animando a su hijo a leer todas las noches.
Gracias,
señora Alaniz
Hello 3rd grade families,
This week in reading, we started our review over fiction. Students read and analyzed a paired passage that focused on the elements of folktales in both story and poetry form. Folktales are stories told that focus on the lesson learned by the character; we call that theme or moral of the story. The students completed test based questions based on both passages that they read. This included multiple choice, hot shot, and extended and short constructed response questions. Next week, we will review nonfiction in the same way. These last two weeks are crucial as we get ready to start test prep for STAAR. The reading STAAR test will be April 9th, so after spring break we will begin STAAR prep.
In phonics this week, we applied our background knowledge to read and spell multisyllabic words and analyzed syllable division with overlapping patterns. The ability to break words apart and identify syllable breaks allows students to spell and increases reading fluency.
For social studies this week, we continued our unit over the physical environment and the effects that humans have on conservation when it comes to natural resources.
Reminders:
Please have your child at school every day and on time.
If your child will not be at school, please message on class DoJo and call the office
Please make sure your child is completing daily homework and reading for at least 20 minutes every night.
Please make sure to check and sign your child’s folder every night.
Thank you for all you do,
Temple Smith
Gracias por todo lo que hacen,

Math/Science
In math we are learning how to tell time to the nearest minute and to use elapsed time to find an ending time.
In science we are learning about the relationship between the sun, moon, and Earth
Please make sure your child is practicing their math facts every night. Math fact tests are on Thursdays
Math fact homework is due on Thursdays.
We are getting VERY close to the STAAR test
Ciencias Matemáticas
En matemáticas estamos aprendiendo a decir la hora al minuto más cercano y a usar el tiempo transcurrido para encontrar la hora de finalización. En ciencia estamos aprendiendo sobre la relación entre el sol, la luna y la Tierra. Asegúrese de que su hijo practique las operaciones matemáticas todas las noches. Los exámenes de matemáticas son los jueves. La tarea de operaciones de matemáticas vence los jueves. Nos estamos acercando MUY a la prueba STAAR,
4th and 5th ELAR
This week we took a practice STAAR test to prepare us for the real STAAR on April 9th. I will send those results home as soon as I have them, so you are able to view them as well. The students took this test for practice, gaining confidence, and for me to see what type of questions they were confused on so that I may clear those up for them before the STAAR. I will be tailoring my whole group and small group instruction to meet the needs of each child, as always, to help them be best prepared for April 9th and for years to come.
Reminders..
- Spelling Tests are OVER until after the STAAR test.
Students MUST read at minimum 20 minutes EACH night. This is mandatory.
Spring break is from March 8-18. Please get all of your traveling done then because I will need students in class every day to properly finish preparing for the STAAR.
STAAR Test is on April 9th for Reading.
Please message me and call Sandy in the office if your child will be out.
Thank you so much,
Jenna Wesley
4to y 5to ELAR
Esta semana tomamos una prueba STAAR de práctica para prepararnos para el STAAR real el 9 de abril. Enviaré esos resultados a casa tan pronto como los tenga, para que usted también pueda verlos. Los estudiantes tomaron esta prueba para practicar, ganar confianza y para que yo pudiera ver en qué tipo de preguntas estaban confundidos y poder aclararlas antes del STAAR. Adaptaré la instrucción de todo mi grupo y de grupos pequeños para satisfacer las necesidades de cada niño, como siempre, para ayudarlos a estar mejor preparados para el 9 de abril y los años venideros. Recordatorios.. Las pruebas de ortografía terminarán hasta después de la prueba STAAR. Los estudiantes DEBEN leer un mínimo de 20 minutos CADA noche. Esto es obligatorio. Las vacaciones de primavera son del 8 al 18 de marzo. Por favor, terminen todos sus viajes porque necesitaré estudiantes en clase todos los días para terminar de prepararse adecuadamente para el STAAR. El examen STAAR es el 9 de abril para Lectura. Por favor envíeme un mensaje y llame a Sandy a la oficina si su hijo estará fuera.
Muchas gracias,

4th & 5th Math
-In 4th grade Math, we are wrapping up our Geometry Unit. Next week, we will begin our STAAR Review. I need students to be in class every day because with some of the units we will not stay long reviewing them. We will stay longer reviewing math concepts we struggled with during the year.
-In 5th grade, we are still working on graphs and soon we will start working on reviewing for the STAAR test. Like the 4th graders, I need fifth grade students to be in class every day because with some of the units we will not stay long reviewing them. We will stay longer reviewing math concepts we struggled with during the year.
-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. Students who are not passing their multiplication facts quiz on Monday have to complete a multiplication fact table, three nights a week. If students do not know their multiplication math facts, they need to be able create a multiplication fact table during the STAAR test.
Thank you for your support,

5th Grade:
We are finishing up on Food Webs! The students have walked through a food web, made a yarn food web, created their own food web on the desk, ALL the food webs! They have also been reminded about the types of organisms in each web. So fun!
4th Grade:
They started their projects over a planet of their choice! They are always so excited when they find out new information about space. I love it!

5to grado: ¡Estamos terminando con las redes alimentarias! Los estudiantes caminaron a través de una red trófica, hicieron una red trófica de hilo, crearon su propia red trófica en el escritorio, ¡TODAS las redes tróficas! También se les ha recordado los tipos de organismos en cada red. ¡Muy divertido! Cuarto grado: ¡Comenzaron sus proyectos en un planeta de su elección! Siempre se emocionan mucho cuando descubren nueva información sobre el espacio. ¡Me encanta! Caitlyn Guzmán Ciencias y estudios sociales de 4.º/5.º grado
