MAY & JUNE NEWS
(currently under construction for the the 2017-18 school year)
STAAR TESTING DATES FOR MATH AND READING ARE SCHEDULED ON:
MATH=5/8
READING=5/9
We have two amazing field trips planned this month. Here are all the details:
1. The first trip will be to the LCRA Red Bud Center located on Lake Austin Blvd. (close to Hula Huts Restaurant). We, (Alonzo, Chedsey, and Marcinek classes), will be going to the Red Bud Center on May 17th. Our fourth graders will learn about Texas' major water resources, how water is treated and delivered to their homes and schools, and how to care for their water resources and use them wisely. Students will board the busses from Oak Hill Elementary at 9:00 and return back to school at 2:00. Parents are welcome to attend this free field trip. We will be enjoying a nice picnic lunch on the beautiful, Red Bud Center grounds.
2. Our fourth and final field trip of the year will be to the Robert Long Auditorium where our fourth & fifth graders will be introduced to the Austin Symphony Orchestra. The students will board the busses from OHE around 9:00 on May 24th and return to school in time for lunch. This is a free field trip sponsored by the City of Austin. Parents, I am sorry to say that there are only enough seats reserved for our students and accompanying teachers....as a result, parents will not be allowed to attend this particular trip.
PLEASE NOTE THAT FRIDAY, MAY 26TH AND MONDAY, MAY 29TH WILL BE A STUDENT AND STAFF HOLIDAY IN OBSERVANCE OF MEMORIAL DAY.
4. Our End of the Year party will be on Friday, May 25th the afternoon from 1:15-2:00.
5. Last day of our school year will be on Thursday, June 1st. Three Ring Circus and yearbook/tee shirt signing will be after Three Ring Circus in the morning of June 1st..
As we move through the days in this nine weeks, we will continue our learning with focus on the following:
Reading: Practice review for STAAR Testing on May 9th, 2017
Writing: Biography writing...online presentations on Board Builder for the Myon book "Texas"
Social Studies: Group reading of the book When Texas was the 28th State.
Students complete an outline over the historical information found in their book.
