Field Trip This Friday
Our Field Trip to the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History this Friday! We are so looking forward to exploring and learning in a new place! Here are a few quick reminders before the trip on Friday.
-
Please make sure your child brings a sack lunch and water/drink with their name on it. Everything needs to be able to be thrown away or recycled, and peanut free! If your child will be getting a sack lunch from the cafeteria, please you child's teacher know before Friday!
-
Your child needs to wear their green TCE 3rd Grade shirt.
-
We will be leaving school around 8:45 and should be back to school by 2:00. Your child won’t need their binder, so they can leave their backpacks at home on this day!

Upcoming Parent Book Club
Our counselor and librarian will facilitate a parent book club this Spring in the Town Center library, and we would love for you to attend! It will be a great time to get to know and collaborate with other parents. The book study will start towards the end of March and go through April. It will be a total of five sessions, with each session lasting one hour. All participants will receive a free copy of the book, and it will be yours to keep. If you are interested in attending/learning more, please fill out the link below. This will help us pick the day that works best for everyone and gauge interest in the book club.
Our Spring Book Club Book:
Teach Your Children Well - Why Values and Coping Skills Matter More Than Grades, Trophies, or "Fat Envelopes"
Psychologist Madeline Levine brings together cutting-edge research and thirty years of clinical experience to explode once and for all the myth that good grades, high test scores, and college acceptances should define the parenting endgame. This book clarifies some of the core values and choices that are most likely to lead to authentic success rather than children that are exhausted, externally driven, and emotionally impaired children who believe they are only as good as their last performance.
