Week 24

We were busy with STAAR ready district tests this week, but we managed to sneak in some great science time. Classes explored our "Google Classroom," which is a great home base for online assignments, but still fairly new to me. We also reviewed circuit information with the Mimio interactive whiteboard.

We will have our energy and electricity quiz next Thursday. Families should be able to find this on the calendar on the "Trio" webpage. There are a few review games to help study, and more study materials will be added shortly.

In writing, we are analyzing our strengths and weaknesses, and determining the major differences between narratives and expository writing

In social studies, we are looking at heroes of the Texas Revolution. Our field trip on March 6 to the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum will hopefully be inspiring. It will be a busy morning, so if you are joining us, it is a good idea to register in advance with the front office. The younger grades are having their annual hoedown, so the campus will have more visitors than usual.

Welcome to the new site!

When Mrs. Han, Mrs. Pinter, and I decided to start a new site for our trio of classes, I decided that my own website needed an overhaul. If you are still bookmarking the old SharpSchool website, switch it to this one! I will be loading some photos of cool things the classes have been doing in science and other subjects this year. This is a work in progress, and I am hoping to take advantage of all of the new options. Please let me know what is helpful, or what you would like to see added.
