We would like to share a

fantastic resource with you

that is designed to help par-

ents better understand the

math standards. Math4Texas

was developed for the pur-

pose of helping parents and

teachers to be successful in

understanding the depth of

knowledge that the Math

TEKS encompass. The web-

site showcases the math

TEKS by grade level with

tips, examples, digital tools,

and videos to help under-

stand the math concepts and

skills your child is learning. It

includes interactive games

your child can play to prac-

tice the skills being taught.

We encourage you to visit

this wonderful resource

throughout the school year

as your child learns new con-

cepts.

Jake DeBlanc was honored

this week at the Golden Tri-

angle Barnes and Noble for

finishing in 1st place for Blan-

ton in the Adopt-A-School

essay contest. The theme

this year was “My school is

great because….”. Jake wrote

a poem outlining wonderful

teaching staff, special area

classes, special programs and

clubs. Jake’s essay was a great

representation of why Blan-

ton is a great school!

Way to go, Jake!

that help it feed, move, and protect

itself as well as its habitat.

Third graders are research-

ing a topic of their choice

ing a slide show to share

We wanted to spotlight Lisa Dorrell this week. Not

only is she your child’s PE teacher, but she is continu-

ally seeking ways to help our students grow in their

service to others and provide experiences they may

not otherwise have. This school year she has orga-

nized several special events/groups.

KORT (Knights of the Round Table) are our 5th

graders who greet students as they exit from

cars at arrival time.

Socktober was our sock donation which was

done in conjunction with the Salvation Army.

Halloween Candy donation was given to the

Salvation Army to help with gifts to children in

need.

EXCITE gym came to give experiences of bal-

ance and other gym activities..

Holiday Parade was a fun time for students to

showcase their talents in building a holiday

themed float.

We are appreciate Mrs. Dorrell and her dedication

to our students.
