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

It’s time we put all our multiplication and division knowledge to good use and start solving word problems, which of course is every 3rd grader’s favorite week in math - NOT. But. The lessons they learn this week are lifelong, useful math skills that they’ll need for the rest of their lives, and what’s more exciting than that? (Nothing. The answer is nothing.) We are getting closer to closing out this unit and are planning for the post test to be sometime the week of November 14. I say word problems, you say awesome!

Science 

It’s game time, baby!!  This is where it all comes together and the force is strong!  We will be creating a game that incorporates all that we have learned about force and motion.  The kids will be working in groups to design, build and test their own unique games.  Let the creativity begin!

Reading/Writing 

This has a really INFORMATIVE week!  We did a bunch of great work on our informational essays.  Your child has found relevant research and is learning to take notes in their own words. They are organizing these notes into appropriate categories. Next week they will write drafts in essay form!  WOW!  
We are also deep into analyzing and applying our knowledge of nonfiction text features through our All About Me activity.

Social Studies 

We will continue learning about our United States government, historical documents, and our founding fathers. We will take a closer look at the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and U. S. Constitution. We will also explore the three branches of government and learn more about our founding fathers.
