STAAR Online Prep
This week we will be conducting STAAR Online tutorials to all students in grade levels 3rd through 5th grade.
With STAAR Reading and Math fast approaching, we feel it is extremely important we prepare our students in using the STAAR online platform prior to having them test.
Teachers have been using different teaching methods in order to target every student's needs. They have also been conducting a variety of instructional strategies such as student-led instruction, targeted regrouping, and project-based learning for enrichment. These instructional strategies will help students become independent, strategic learners by applying rigorous content that is highly customized to specific student needs.
Ms. Parra’s Class -
4th Grade This week students were introduced to Argumentative text. Argumentative text used to be taught in Middle School, but is now required in 4th grade.
Students learned about the elements of an argumentative passage and as they read it, they were able to identify each element.
Students read a debate on school busses having seatbelts for students to use just like the law requires them for vehicles.
It was very interesting listening to each student's opinion on this topic. We will continue to learn more about an argumentative text next week.
