We are lucky to have Ryan Agarwal, a Coppell High School graduate and current Stanford student, come to TCE on September 2nd and speak with our 2nd - 5th graders. Ryan was recruited to play basketball for Stanford, and his dream of playing in the NBA is motivated by his love for the game and desire to break the stereotype that Indian people can't be great at basketball.
Ryan will sign copies of his book if any learners purchase his book and bring it to school on Tuesday, September 2nd. https://a.co/d/6WRgjY5.

This week in English Language Arts we are diving deeper into our daily routine.
We will introduce word work with a preview of how it will operate during the school year.
We will also continue our read aloud, Frindle, and explore the elements of fiction literature. Good readers practice comprehension checks, write about their reading, visualize what is happening in the story and make predictions with text evidence to support their thinking.
Our grammar focus for the week is how to identify and capitalize proper nouns in context.We will be building editing practice into our daily routine.
Our writing focus this week will be two parts. One focus will be writing about our reading. Then we will begin to write small moment personal narratives. If you want to help your child, remember that all good writing starts with good story telling. Writing small moment stories can come from things like, “Hey, remember that time we accidentally used the wrong pizza pan and grease dripped all over the bottom of the oven? There was smoke everywhere!” or "Everytime my brother goes to Tappy’s Yogurt shop he always makes the funniest ice cream combinations.” The more our kids tell cohesive stories outloud, the better writers they become.
