Social Emotional Literacy Library

Town Center's Family Social Emotional Literacy Library


Town Center has an exciting resource for families! We now have an entire resource library focused on Social and Emotional skill development. Themes are divided into 5 categories: Understanding Myself, Managing Myself, Respecting Others, Building Relationships, and Making Decisions.


View the titles here: TCE's Family Literacy Library Titles. Then, select the topic that interests you and complete this form to Request a Family Book Bag. Corresponding conversation starters to help facilitate discussions at home will also be included in the book bag. Books and discussion questions may be kept for two weeks and then returned to Kelly Matlock, TCE's counselor. Please email kmatlock@coppellisd.com with any questions.

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

https://secure.smore.com/n/5zhtm

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. 

ELA - We are finishing our poetry unit in both reading and writing this week. We will round it out with tricky words (context clues and dictionary skills) , theme, and mood! As you child to share what they’ve learned and written about so far!


Social Studies - This is our last week for economics. We will be studying capital, human, and natural resources! Money, money, money! My apologies if your child’s entrepreneurial spirit is ignited, and you have a new business to subsidize!

Math - We are ending our area and perimeter unit with a big bang: area and perimeter practice problems, area vs. perimeter word problems, and missing side word problems. We are starting Money Mondays and Time Tuesdays. First, we’ll review how to count collections of coins, and as the Mondays go by, we’ll move from that skill to counting collections of bills and coins and then on to learning about financial literacy. We have already reviewed how to tell time, so our Time Tuesdays will eventually progress to learning about elapsed time. Math is a game of inches (just kidding, that’s football), and we are getting oh so close to our final units, which are Fractions, Elapsed Time, Measurement, and Financial Literacy. If the area and perimeter unit naturally wraps up before the end of the week, we will not waste one moment and move right along to the big show: FRACTIONS. It’s happening, folks! Your children are becoming mathematicians and I am here for it!!

Science - In Science we will zoom into our last section of our Earth and Space Unit → Rapid Land Changes!!  This is a fan favorite for sure.  We will start by exploring volcanic eruptions, how they cause rapid land changes and the result afterwards.
