Cowboys Rise for the Texas Coast
In partnership with Coppell High School, our TCE Student Organization will be selling t-shirts to raise money for people who have been affected by Hurricane Harvey. The t-shirt cost will be $10. 100% of the shirt cost will go to help the needs of those on the Texas gulf coast. We would love for everyone to support this cause as our community unites to help our neighbors to the south! We encourage parents, children, and other family members to get shirts! Please return order forms and money (cash or check made out to our Town Center PTO) to your child's homeroom teacher by Wednesday, September 13th.

Homefun: Math homefun and reflex math will being mid-September. Be on the lookout for updates!
Language Arts
In reading, learners will begin Reading Workshop. They will review how to select a "good fit" book and will continue to work on building reading stamina. Each learner has the opportunity to check out books from our Town Center Library. These books are needed each day for class for independent reading and conferences with the teacher. Please help your child to remember their books each day for class.
In writing, learners will begin Grammar Talks with a focus on nouns and continue setting a foundation in Writing Workshop.
