Join us for the 11th annual Thanksgiving Dinner at the Robles Elementary School on November 28. This is a free meal consisting of the usual Thanksgiving menu items.
The pies are baked by our retired Captain Bob Etheridge and his niece Abby Etheridge of our Three Point Fire Department. The Altar Valley School District students make the table decorations and they are always fantastic.
This tradition was created in 2013 by Captain Bob Etheridge and Patzi Hughes as a way to reach out to our community for people to enjoy a meal and meet their neighbors.
Reservations are required. Call (520) 822-2026 to contact Patzi at Serenity Baptist Church Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. to make your reservation. The last day to reserve dinner is November 18. Dinner is dine-in only. Takeout is not available.
We’re thrilled to share what our third-grade Bobcats have been working on since the start of the school year. Our students have been dedicating a lot of time to important tests such as State Benchmarks, Acadience, and CBM. In addition, our focus has been on following the Bobcats ROAR rules at Robles, which emphasize being respectful, open-minded, accountable, and responsible. These values help ensure that our students are on their best behavior and serve as positive role models for our younger Bobcats.
Reading and Writing
In reading, we’re focused on helping students enhance their skills by understanding main ideas in informational texts, identifying themes and the author’s purpose, and analyzing text organization and points of view. Our aim is to develop strong readers by improving fluency, expanding vocabulary, and fostering a love for reading.
In writing, we aim to simplify the writing process using the RACER strategy, where students Restate questions, Answer them, Cite evidence, Explain their meaning, and Restate their points. We emphasize crafting strong topic sentences, recognizing the writer’s purpose, practicing opinion writing, and incorporating descriptive details. Our goal is to help students express their ideas clearly, share their opinions effectively, and infuse creativity into their writing!
Mathematics
In mathematics, we are supporting students in improving their understanding of addition and subtraction with three-digit numbers. This year students will continuously practice multiplication facts with flashcards and other resources. Our intention is to grow students’ automaticity in multiplication so it comes more naturally to students. We are also working on building the foundational skills of regrouping when it comes to subtraction with three-digit numbers.
Year-end Goals!
At the end of the year, our students will take the benchmarking and AASA tests, and we hope to see a 10% improvement! Parents, you can help make this happen by encouraging your kids to read at home, using the flashcards from teachers, and helping with homework. Let’s work together— students and parents—to celebrate everyone’s hard work. Together, we can set big goals, chase our dreams, and keep working toward excellence! Your support really makes a difference!
