Lion's Club

Each year the Lions Club of Coppell provides holiday baskets and toys for families in the Coppell ISD attendance area. Last year Lion's Club provided a special Christmas for over 127 families and hundreds of children who might otherwise have gone without. The food baskets and toys are delivered by members of the Lions Club of Coppell, and the identity of the recipients is kept confidential. All Lion's Club needs need to know is the address and the family demographics, sizes, and any special needs the family may have. If your family would like to apply for a holiday basket and toys, please email Town Center's counselor, Kelly Matlock, at kmatlock@coppellisd.com.

Math

Bar graphs, pictographs, and line plots, OH MY! We are following the yellow brick road and will all soon become Wizards of Data Analysis. Line plots are the new skill for 3rd grade - see the line plot example below because I don’t know about you guys, but in 1987 at Will Rogers Elementary in Altus, Oklahoma, we were NOT learning about line plots. Kiddos today are amazing!

   Number of Siblings Students Have

This means that 2 students have 1 sibling, 3 students have 2 siblings, 4 students have 3 siblings, and 1 student has 4 siblings.

During the week of December 19, we will be making function machines so that we can practice input/output tables. If you’re able, please send in a dry, clean, empty half gallon cardboard container and an empty cereal box. We are feeling over the rainbow for math!

Science 

We will continue taking a closer look at weathering, erosion and deposition.  It’s a slooooooowwww process guys…literally!  We will also look at Natural Resources and how important it is to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle to preserve them! 

Reading/Writing 

We are wrapping up our study of nonfiction texts and will be moving into character studies in fiction stories. We will learn how characters’ actions influence a story and how they can change throughout a story. We will delve into the themes of stories and learn how to infer the theme of a story by putting pieces of the story together. We will be adding finishing touches to our nonfiction published pieces in writing and beginning to brainstorm and plan a persuasive writing piece.

Social Studies 

We will be kicking off our Geography study! We will be learning about different environments people live and work in and how we have adapted to and survive in those environments (climate, landforms, natural hazards and natural resources). We also will learn about how the Earth changes from both physical and human processes (building new homes, conservation and pollution).
