Terrific Texans

Throughout the week our learners at TCE work hard at going above and beyond! When any teacher catches them standing out in a positive way they are awarded a Terrific Texan. At the end of the week, there is a school-wide drawing and 3 winners are chosen from each grade level.

Terrific Texans coming soon!

Background Checks

We ask that all families complete a volunteer background check at the start of the year. They do not carry over from year to year. Since the background checks take time to process, we ask that everyone complete one in case any type of volunteering opportunity (class field trip, Dad's Club, Room parent, class volunteer, field day, etc.) arises during the year that you are interested in. Please click on the link below to complete it.

WHAT WE ARE LEARNING

ELA - During Reading and Writing this week, we will be setting up our Workshop time. We will be sharing about our reading habits and talking about how to set ourselves up for a successful reading life. In writing we will lay the foundation. In order to write you have to know what is in your heart. We will be working on generating ideas as a writer developing a healthy relationship with the skill.

Social Studies - This week is all about community. As we learn more about each other, we will share what we have in common and what makes us unique.

Math - This week in math will be about setting up our math workshop, or as it is affectionately known here at TCE 3rd grade, Math TIME. We will learn expectations and procedures for small group and whole group learning, review the difference between having a growth mindset and a fixed mindset, and we will create positive math affirmations for ourselves. We will dip our toe into learning about place value by reviewing our 2nd grade knowledge of the ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands places, and how to represent numbers using standard and expanded forms. We begin at the beginning, friends, and I am here for it!

Science - Our week in science will kick off with the scientific method! We will set up our science journals and investigate tools that are important for scientists to use.
