New Positive Covid-19 Case Reporting Procedure

A big thank you to our families for communicating positive student Covid cases to us. In order to help streamline the communication process for both families and our campus nurse, please fill out the following Google Form if your child receives a positive Covid-19 test. The form information goes directly to our campus nurse. https://forms.gle/VUex3RUqzgtsNa716


Once our nurse has received the form from a family, she will reach out to them during school hours to discuss a return date to school and any questions they may have.


Headphones/Earbuds
Many of the kiddos are still in need of a set of headphones/earbuds that they can keep at school. We have been through quite a few already. The kiddos have many times where they are watching a video or can listen to directions and/or books being read aloud to them.  Thank you so much for your help with this!

Math 

Area continues, and we’re gonna need our big brains for this concept! COMPOSITE AREA, comin’ in hot! A composite figure (for third graders) is a shape that combines a square and a rectangle, or rectangles and rectangles, or squares and squares. Next week, we will figure out the AREA of composite figures. This is a 4 step process: 1) partition the figure (split it into 2 separate shapes) 2) label the shapes A and B (and C if there are 3 separate shapes 3) find the area of shape A 4) find the area of shape B 4) add the areas together

This is a LOT for 3rd graders: multiplication, remembering all the steps, adding…this is always a big week for our kiddos!

Parent Resources - Area of Composite Figures Video Video #2

Science 

In Science last week we learned about natural resources and how important they are to us.  This week learners will be creating a flyer or commercial about the importance of WHY we should reduce, reuse, recycle and HOW we can do that at TCE and home.

Reading/Writing 

In reading we will continue our character traits unit by observing what our characters say, think, feel, and do to formulate theories about our characters. We will also begin exploring plot elements through “story mountains”. In writing, we will learn how to brainstorm ideas for persuasive writing.

Social Studies 

In social studies, we will learn about scarcity and how supply and demand affect consumers. We will overview old vocabulary and add to our economic words list.
