Mrs. Callaway’s 4th grade class is working on sequence of events in a text...with a science twist! They read about all the things a drop of water can do and then tested the sequences themselves.

Students took a classic childhood story to the next level! After reading "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" students in Mrs. Lewis’ class were given 10 pieces of paper and 2 feet of masking tape to build a chair, table, or bed that would hold a bag of pennies. The structure that held the most pennies got a prize.
Students completed a STEM reflection written activity explaining their thought process, design reasoning, and results. Blending STEM and reading through hands-on activities makes learning more fun and memorable!

Spring Break is right around the corner, but there is a lot of work to be done!
✏️ Benchmark Testing: Snyder Primary 3rd grade, Snyder Intermediate, and Snyder Junior High School students are taking benchmark tests this week. Please visit with your child and remind them that it is important that they do their best on this test. We will use the data from this assessment to determine any instruction gaps that need to be revisited.
✏️ End of the 4th Six Weeks: It's also the end of the six-week grading period for Snyder Junior High and Snyder High School students. Finish strong!
🗓 You can always find a copy of the school calendar on the website at snyderisd.net, in the links section of the ParentSquare app, or

“I’ll never use this in real life.” Not so! Ms. Larrea’s 4th grade class used a cookie recipe that incorporated a variety of different fractions. Students decomposed fractions while using measuring cups.

**We have postponed the "Elementary Chat" that was scheduled for today until next Tuesday.**
Is your child dealing with grief, anxiety, loneliness, or perhaps they just lack motivation? During an ordinary school year, students and families experience stress while juggling schoolwork and extracurricular activities in addition to family and social issues. COVID-19 has, understandably, caused additional stress for us all. Join Amy Crist and Lacee Wall, counselors, at Snyder ISD's primary school campus, as they discuss ways to help your child through challenging times.
Submit your questions: You may submit your questions in advance by emailing questions@snyderid.net, commenting on this post, or you can submit your questions during the session using the "chat" or "Q&A" feature in the zoom webinar.
