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 our winners this week!

A Note from Nurse Crenshaw
St. Ann’s Catholic Parish is once again sponsoring Thanksgiving Basket deliveries (or a pickup option at St Ann’s Church if you prefer). This program provides families in need with a complete Thanksgiving dinner for the entire family. The baskets will be delivered to your home the weekend before Thanksgiving, so it is critically important that an adult representing the family be at the home between the hours of Noon and 4PM on Sunday, November 24th, 2024. The deadline to sign up for a basket is October 22nd, 2024.
Please fill out this form with all information requested. Please contact Nurse Crenshaw if you have any questions. kcrenshaw@coppellisd.com
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.
Attendance
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.

TCE Principal Newsletter
Each week Ms. Martin sends out her Town Center Principal Newsletter. Please make sure to check out all the important campus-wide announcements in the Principal Newsletter.
September 27th Newsletter!
Time to flip the script! In reading we will do a 180 and switch to non fiction for several weeks. Children love non fiction text and we are going to be reading a lot of it. They are expected to identify specific text features and determine the author’s purpose or intention for its use. Understanding the reason why it was included helps us interact with the text in more intentional ways.
In Writing this week we will be putting the final touches on our Narratives and have a celebration to share all of our hard work. We will also start to introduce our next writing focus: Non-Fiction!
In Grammar we will work on identifying and creating compound sentences.
Social Studies - This week in social studies we are continuing to study the government. Our focus will be two civic duties: voting and serving on a jury.
Math - This is the moment, this is the tiiiiime…any guesses on what song that line came from? No? Okay, the answer will be in next week’s blog and any kiddo who quietly gives me the correct answer before then gets 3 Dojo points. Anywho, this IS the moment, and this IS the time - to finish up place value. We will be taking our place value post test on Thursday, October 10. If your child will be absent on Thursday, October 10, please let me know ahead of time so I can make arrangements for him or her to take the test on Wednesday, October 9. We are cruisin’ through 3rd grade, and your child is amazing!
Science - In Science this week we will explore magnetism and gravity but with a emphasis on forces. We will explore and discuss how magnets repel (push) and attract (pull) towards objects and how gravity is a force that pulls us toward the ground.
