Announcements

Metrocrest Food Drive
Our TCE student council is partnering with Metrocrest Services to provide food donations for local families and senior citizens. The food drive will run October 9th-19th, and student council will have boxes at the end of each downstairs hallways that learners can place their donations in. This will be our only food drive for this year! 
Big picture


Raz Kids
The district has now added RAZ KIDS accounts for all elementary students in the district. With this being said, it means the old accounts we had set up just for TCE will be expiring, and new usernames and passwords will be given to students. We just wanted parents and students to be aware in case you are unable to log in this weekend for those of you who still utilize this program. New student usernames and passwords will be passed out next week. 

What are we learning?

Math
In math, learners will be finishing up our Numeracy to 100,000 unit. We will finish up our elapsed time practice and review our addition/subtraction and money skills. At the end of the week we will have our Unit Post Test.

Language Arts
In reading, we will continue our unit on figurative language. We will finish up our discussion on similes and metaphors and begin learning about personification, onomatopoeia, and alliteration.

In writing, we will continue to work on sentence formation and the conventions of writing.

Science
In science, we will begin to dig into our new unit of Force, Motion, and Energy. We will be doing a research project where students will be broken up into groups to research one specific type of energy that is present in our everyday lives. The groups will then present to the class as the "energy experts."

Social Studies
In social studies, learners will continue to look at historical documents, their purpose, and how they have shaped our nation. We will look at the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and The Declaration of Independence.
