Toy and Canned Food Drive

Coppell Lions Club Holiday Baskets

Each year the Lions Club of Coppell provides holiday baskets and toys to families in the Coppell ISD attendance area. Last year the Lion's Club provided a special Christmas for over 130 families and hundreds of children who might otherwise have gone without. 

The food baskets and toys are delivered by members of the Lions Club, and the identity of the recipients are kept confidential.  If your family would benefit from a holiday basket and toys from the Lions Club, please complete the form at the link below and return it to TCE's counselor, Kelly Matlock, by Friday, December 8th.  Email kmatlock@coppellisd.com if you would like a paper copy sent home.

What we are learning

Math - The week is here and they are excited! After fielding approximately 1 kabillion questions about what the milk cartons and cereal boxes are for, the week of Function Machines has arrived! Our Function Machine Showcase is on Friday, at which time they will work with each other’s completed machines to try to figure out what happened when the numbers were inputted! Function Machines help us learn about Input/Output tables, which is another way to analyze data. See below for the examples of the different types of Input/Output tables. The one that’s trickiest for 3rd graders is #2, so that is what we’ll focus on during our Friday Showcase. 

THANK YOU for sending in the boxes and cartons! 

We’ll keep taking them to reserve our stores for next year.

Science -

We will continue taking a closer look at weathering, erosion and deposition.  We will also continue to look at Natural Resources so that we can show how important it is to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle to preserve them! 

ELAR - 

We will continue our character studies unit this week, making connections between characters and events within the story.  We will practice mapping a story while continuing our class reading of the Wild Robot. We will also explore the OREO strategy as they work on drafting, editing and revising a fully workshopped persuasive writing piece.

Social Studies - In Social Studies, we will be circling back to several concepts from our government unit to help our learners distinguish between types of government and their branches.
