Terrific Texans
Throughout the week our learners at TCE work hard at going above and beyond! When any teacher catches them standing out in a positive way they are awarded a Terrific Texan. At the end of the week, there is a school-wide drawing and 3 winners are chosen from each grade level.
Congratulations to this weeks winners!

Coppell Cares
Coppell Cares offers the Weekend Backpack Program for families who have financial need. Each Friday, learners receive a bag of snacks for the weekend. The goal of the program is to help eliminate food insecurity for children. They provide nutritious breakfast, lunch and snack items to eligible CISD children (and siblings). This weekly food program helps feed children over the weekend during the school year when they are not receiving meals at school.
If you would like your child(ren) to participate in this program, please complete the online application below. If you would prefer a paper copy to be sent home with your child, please email TCE's counselor, Kelly Matlock, at kmatlock@coppellisd.com. Families may sign up for this program at any time during the school year. Deliveries will begin Friday, September 6th. Deliveries will be suspended for Thanksgiving Week, Winter Break, and Spring Break.
Background Checks
We ask that all families complete a volunteer background check at the start of the year. They do not carry over from year to year. Since the background checks take time to process, we ask that everyone complete one in case any type of volunteering opportunity (class field trip, Dad's Club, Room parent, class volunteer, field day, etc.) arises during the year that you are interested in. Please click on the link below to complete it.

August 23rd Newsletter!
In writing, we will explore Watermelon vs. seed stories (big ideas versus focused moments). We will practice by taking one idea from our Heart map and highlighting specific memories for that person or place.
Social Studies - This week is all about community. As we learn more about each other, we will share what we have in common and what makes us unique.
Math - We have worked on setting up our Math TIME (ask your kiddos about when it’s okay to interrupt a small group), so this week, we will continue to practice and strengthen meeting the Math TIME expectations in order to make this year the best math year yet! We will represent numbers with expanded form, standard form, word form, and then finally, with expanded notation. Expanded notation is a new skill for 3rd graders; exciting stuff! We will learn about place value to the hundred thousands, and I, for one, am more than ready to get it going! What’s better than making sure our number sense foundation is strong? Nothing! Let’s gooo 3rd graders
Science - Next week we are starting our Properties of Matter Unit! We will be discussing What is Matter, exploring the properties of matter, and how to classify different types of matter.
