Homecoming Parade - TCE float information

The Coppell Homecoming parade is NEXT WEEK and we need your help! We're looking for students and parents to walk the parade route and to wave and pass out candy with our float!

If your kiddo wants to participate, please make sure they have a parent present to walk with them.

The parade route is 1 mile long, so please be sure your kiddo can walk the entire length. We will have limited spots for younger kiddos on the float.

🪩 When? Wednesday, September 10th at 5:30PM for line-up (Parade starts at 6:30PM)

🪩Where? Elementary float line up is inside Buttonwood Court, near Cottonwood Creek Elementary (CCE). We don't know EXACTLY where our float will be, so look for the TCE banner and group!

** Parade ends at CHS at 7:30PM so please plan accordingly!**

Parkway will be BUSY so it's best to take Sandy Lake -> N Coppell Rd -> Minyard Dr to get to the CCE area. Early arrivals may find parking near CCE, but later arrivals may need to park at CHS (end of parade) and walk over to CCE.

🪩What? Candy will be provided by PTO to be handed out (not thrown) along the parade route. Float theme is "Tropic like it's hot: Splash into Coppell Hoco 2025!" So you can dress like that or wear any TCE/Coppell attire!

It will be a great evening and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Reading and Word Work -

In Reading class this week, we will continue our interactive read aloud of Frindle, by Andrew Clements.  Our readers will practice retelling  longer texts as they go, building on their retell the more I read. Through a combination of partner reading and independent reading, tackling more complex texts will be a breeze!

Our word work pattern this week is to explore words containing a long a or long e sound. By learning more about syllable types, we will practice reading and writing words like delay, paint and dream.

Math - Who’s ready for some addition and subtraction?! Once again, we’re learning a skill we’ll use forever; what’s more exciting than that?! In 2nd grade, your child learned how to add and subtract across 2 digits, and now he’s ready for more. We will add that third digit so they can practice regrouping. Now, I know you are reading that word “regrouping” and thinking some rage-y thought about “new math”, but fear not! Regrouping is the same thing as saying “borrow” and “carry the one”. We will start by using place value blocks, and by the end of the week your child will be using the standard algorithm, which means she’ll line up the place values and subtract. We will touch on subtracting across zeroes (for example, 500-127=), but we’ll work more on that during the week of September 15-19. Please see the pictures below to understand what regrouping (aka borrowing) in subtraction really means:

Science - In Science we will finish up exploring properties of matter.  Our explorations this week will challenge the kids to observe, test and measure using what they know about matter.   We will review what mass, magnetism, density and temperature are and how to test for each..

Social Studies - In Social Studies we will do a mini research on an individual who has impacted their community.  Additionally, Thursday is 9/11 so we will take time to explore the history behind what occurred and why.
