Here is what we have going on this week:
Math: We are revisiting our Personal Financial Literacy unit this week to ensure mastery before we send our 5th graders off to Wertheimer.
Science: We are starting our research and planning this week for our MindcraftEDU project. The students will be choosing, researching and building their particular biomes in the Mindcraft world over the next couple of weeks.
Social Studies: We are covering WWII and the time period immediately following both World Wars. There will be a unit test next Tuesday over Ch. 15.
ELAR: We are still reading as a class Number the Stars in conjunction with our study on WWII in social studies. We are also working on our daily oral language skills over the next couple of weeks.
****Help our Huggins GOTR (Girls on the Run) team raise money for LEAF and let your child have FUN wearing their favorite clothes for a WEEK. (see attached flyer for details) If you didn’t see last Friday’s E-Blast please see below for more information on how this fundraiser will go back to LEAF. I was fortunate to have been a recipient of a FABULOUS LEAF grant. LEAF does AWESOME things for our kids!!!
Huggins is the largest
recipient in history of L.E.A.F grants (the Lamar Educational Awards
Foundation). We benefit greatly from this organization, and each year we
work hard to combine our efforts to raise money to give back to this
group. They collect money year-round to donate directly to LCISD schools
each year. Their fundraiser “Surf’s Up” is coming up soon, and we are
once again participating in the cake auction. Last year Huggins spent
$15,000 on a cake which was a combination of lots of donations to LEAF.
Obviously, the money wasn’t for cake, sugar, and flour, but to help them raise
money for LCISD schools. If you or your business would be interested in
helping us by making this donation to LEAF, please let Mr. Waddill know (wwaddill@lcisd.org).
Even though your donation can be made directly to them for tax purposes, we can
still use it in our Huggins “pool.” Thanks for all you do! Check
out the flyer to see how “Girls on the Run” wants to help!
