TCE's 2nd Annual Cultural Night
We are excited to have our 2nd annual Culture Night at TCE.  Last year was such a great success with all the dishes you shared with our TCE community.  If you would like to share an appetizer, main dish or dessert on March 28th please sign up below. We will get back with you with more specific details as the event grows near. TCE will provide sample cups to share the dish you bring.  This event was successful because of all of our families' contributions. Thank you for making our school so great! 
Be on the lookout for more information about this event including performances and interactive stations!


TCE Color Stampede!

Play it Safe Program
This is just a reminder that our counselor will be presenting the Play It Safe counseling program to learners K-5. A flyer was sent home before Spring Break giving information about the program and the option to "opt out" if you prefer by returning the signed form showing that decision. If you have questions, please contact our school counselor Kelly Matlock.

Night at the Ballpark 
Big picture

Board Game Day
We are going to set aside time at the end of our day on Friday, March 29th for "Board Game Time". This is to redeem the March coupon that we gave the 2nd grade students as their winter holiday gift. Your child will be allowed to bring a game to school with the following provisions:

  1. It is clearly marked with their name. We usually have multiples of the same game.
  2. It is a board game or card game that is NOT electronic.
  3. The game does not make any sound!
  4. It can fit entirely inside their cubby.
  5. They know how to play it.

A Note from Ms. Martin: 

TCE Families,
The data analysis from the looping survey is complete, and a decision has been made in regards to the looping process at Town Center Elementary. Please click on the link below to view the Looping Report which includes a summary of the data received, conclusions, and next steps. 
A special thank you to our TCE families, staff, and learners that provided feedback. I appreciate the honest and thoughtful insight that was given. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any additional questions or concerns, and I would be happy to meet with you. 


Thank you,

What are we learning?

Math


In math we will continue to learn about fractions and comparing different fractions. We will compare fractions with the same denominator but different numerators, and fractions with the same numerator but different denominators. 



Language Arts


In Language Arts we will be learning about Author's purpose. We will be working on setting up new book clubs. Each week in LA we have been looking at reading passages aligned with the STAAR test. We are also encouraging students to be doing the Of The Week (OTW) articles, as this will help in the familiarization of STAAR passages and questions so students are used to the wording. Please encourage your learner to look at this at home each night to help aide in their practice and confidence with the passages. 



Science


In science, we will be researching and showing our learning about specific types of habitats. These habitats include forest, desert, grassland, arctic tundra, pond, ocean, mountain, and wetlands. This week we are showcasing our learning by displaying our research in a Google Slide presentation. 



Social Studies


In Social Studies, we will begin our unit on Economics. Learners will look at how human capital relates to types of labor and income.
