February Class Parties Rescheduled
Our campus has made the decision to move our second party of the year to May instead of the usual February Valentine's Day Party. While our staff will still do some type of activity for the holiday, we will not have our usual full party or exchange paper valentines. We look forward to planning the end of the year party with our room moms.

Reminder: A Note from Our Counselor
During the month of February, our counselor will teach all learners about personal safety using the "Play it Safe" program. "Play it Safe" is a child abuse awareness and prevention program for children. It teaches children to protect themselves by recognizing, reacting to, and reporting potentially dangerous situations, including unsafe and confusing touches.
For more information, please visit the "Play it Safe" website: https://playitsafe.org/index.php. All curriculum materials are available for your viewing during the month of January. Also, feel free to contact me at kmatlock@coppellisd.com if you have any questions.
iPad ChargingPlease ensure that your child is plugging in their iPad when they get home and charging it overnight. We have had an issue with a large group of learners in each class coming to school with their iPad dead. This makes charging at the same time hard and distancing even harder. We would love your help with iPads arriving at school charged. 
HEADPHONES!We have lots of kiddos who have lost/broken headphones. Please make sure that your child has a working pair of headphones for school.

Our 2020-2021 Town Center Yearbook is now available for purchase. The cost is $25, and they will arrive in the spring. Click here to place your order. **Please note that the yearbook cost Is NOT INCLUDED in the TCE Trail Pass.
What are we learning?
Math: Students have already learned that perimeter measures the distance around the outside of a shape. They know to add up all the sides to find the perimeter, and how to use the perimeter to find a missing side. This week we will start learning about area. We will teach area as the space that takes up the inside of a shape/object. We will relate area to multiplication by teaching them A=LxW.
Language Arts: In reading, we will continue discussing character traits. We will explore more personality traits and begin to develop theories about the characters in our books based off of what they say, think, do, and feel. In writing, we will be kicking off our persuasive writing unit!
Science: This week we will continue our learning about weathering and erosion and the role that the processes play in land changes.
Social Studies: In social studies, we will be continuing our economics unit by discussing income and human capital. We will be defining these terms and exploring various ways people can earn income and increase human capital.
