                              Fund raiser kickoff

October 21st - Fun Run






This year, our TCE Fundraiser will be a Fun Run on October 21st! As our Fun Run gets closer, make sure to register online at mybooster.com. It's free to register your child(ren) and for them to participate in the fun run. We've set a school goal to earn $15,000 for our school to be used for classroom grants that fund instructional materials and experiences. We shared our school-wide incentive on announcements this morning- a dunking booth for the administrators! The top three individual earners will get to dunk us, along with the teacher of the class that has the highest average earned per child (due to our varying class sizes). We'd love your help in meeting our $15,000 goal! Click here to see a video for how to get started!



Book Character Pumpkin Extravaganza
 
It's that time of year!  Fall leaves, cool air, and PUMPKINS!  The TCE Library presents Book Character Pumpkin Extravaganza!  Your child or family can decorate a pumpkin as a book character.  Please NO CARVED pumpkins.  You may decorate, paint, glue, etc a real or fake pumpkin to look like a character from a book.  Please include a paper or index card with your child's name, class, character's name and book title.  Pumpkins may be dropped off in the library anytime through October 22nd and will be sent home October 29th.  If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Mancuso at kmancuso@coppellisd.com

Math 

Equal groups, arrays, repeated addition, oh my! The multiplication and division unit is upon us and will last until December. First, we will take the pretest (this determines each student's preexisting knowledge). Then, after an introduction to multiplication, we will learn different ways to represent multiplication: equal groups, arrays, repeated addition, and skip counting. We have already learned the 3s and 4s songs, and now it's time to learn the 6s song. (Is there anything cuter than 3rd graders singing in a math choir about multiplication? I think not.) Finally, all children will be moved to multiplication and division on Reflex. It's a big week, Texans!

Science 

We will continue exploring different forms of energy; light, sound, heat and mechanical. We will discuss how energy can be transferred to other forms, but never created or destroyed.

Reading/Writing 

In language arts, we are going to take some time to practice our reading skills and reading stamina. We will introduce our next unit of non-fiction reading and begin to think about how we read non-fiction and identify differences from fiction reading. In writing we will wrap up our unit on narrative writing and begin to introduce expository and informational writing.

Social Studies 

In social studies, we will continue to overview citizenship and government. We will review what makes a good citizen and different citizenship responsibilities.
