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 Charging
Please 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. 

Town Center Yearbooks

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: In math, we will be taking our knowledge about area a step further in order to use the additive property to find the area of composite figures. Students will partition (split) a figure made up of 2 more shapes, find the area of each individual shape, and add them together to find the area of the whole composite figure. 

Language Arts: In reading, we are continuing with our character analysis unit by exploring a story's plot and discussing how characters fit into it. We will also develop deeper theories about our characters. In writing, we will continue our persuasive unit by beginning to discuss brainstorming and persuasive strategies.

Science: This week we will begin our learning about Natural Resources. We will learn what a natural resource is, and how we can conserve them. 

Social Studies: In Social Studies, learners will reflect on why we recognize Martin Luther King Day. We will also continue with our Economics unit with a focus on expenses.
