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!

What are we learning?

Math


In math we will take our Fractions pre-assessment and begin our unit. We will start by reviewing what fractions are and looking at examples of halves, fourths, sixths, and eighths. 



Language Arts


In Language Arts we will continue our unit on theme and begin to talk about Author's Purpose. New book clubs will be formed after spring break.



Science


In science, we will be continuing our unit on Interactions and Changes in the Environment. We will focus on different habitats and discuss the living and nonliving things that coexist in those habitats. 



Social Studies


In Social Studies, we will be wrapping up our unit on Geography.  Learners will finish up sharing their State research and commercials.
