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, the real fun begins as we start to learn all about equivalent fractions! We will learn how "tricky 1/2" has many equivalent fractions, how fractions that look different can actually represent the exact same amount, and a few tips and tricks to help us find equivalency quickly. Buckle up and get ready to ride the train all the way to Crazy Bizarro Fraction World!

Language Arts: In language arts we are starting our book clubs! Learners will meet with their groups on Tuesday and Thursday. They will prepare to  answer discussion questions with their groups and will practice communication skills during their meetings. In class, we will be overviewing prefixes and suffixes. In writing we will begin discussing editing and editing marks.

Science: In science, we will be starting our new unit on Environments and Organisms.  We will begin by exploring physical characteristics of environments.  Learners will focus on habitats and ecosystems: what they are and what makes them up.

Social Studies: In Social Studies, we are beginning our unit on Historical and Contemporary Figures.  We will look at many different individuals and their role in shaping the culture of communities, the states and the nation.

What are we learning?

Math: In math, we will continue to compose and decompose fractions. We will continue to study unit fractions (building block of fractions, the numerator is always 1) and the sum of unit fractions (when we add the unit fractions).  

Example: 1/4+1/4+1/4=3/4

1/4 is the unit fraction 

When we have 3/4, the fraction is composed. To decompose it, we break it into unit fractions: 1/4+1/4+1/4

Also, we will finally use our fraction strips that we've cut out! Finally, we will review subtraction with regrouping (borrowing).

Language Arts: In writing, we will be finishing up our poetry unit while also writing about our Spring break. In Reading,  we are going to kick off a new reading clubs unit! We will talk about how we can prepare for and participate in reading clubs.

Science: In science, we will be finishing up our Patterns in the Sky unit.  Learners will complete their next Career Connections Trade card, as well as, take the end of unit assessment.

Social Studies: In Social Studies, learners will use the product that they created to make an advertisement for it.  They will learn what makes an advertisement appealing (font, color, pictures, prices).

Tuesday March 9th - PTO Meeting @ 7pm

What are we learning?

Math: In math, we will continue our fractions unit. We will learn about unit fractions and how to decompose fractions as a sum of unit fractions. For example, 3/4 = 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4. 

Language Arts: In reading and writing, we will be finishing up our poetry unit. We will analyze the author's voice and tone and how that connects to the mood of the poem. We will look deeper at the meaning of poems and author's purpose. We will also discuss the importance of adding lines and stanzas in our own poems, as well as mixing up our word choice to add to the imagery in our poems. 

Science: In science, we will continue our planet research. Each student will be creating a Google Slideshow to showcase what they have learned about the planet that they chose. At the end of the week they will have the opportunity to share their slideshow with the class. 

Social Studies: In Social Studies, learners will learn about Free Enterprise and what it means to be an entrepreneur.  They will begin creating their own product that they would like to sell if they owned a business.
