It's been another great week in 4th grade! Please see below for some updates.


In Math this week, we have been reviewing past concepts such as place value, decimals, and fractions through fun learning experiences such as Quizlet Live! 

In Language Arts and Reading this week, we reviewed past topics by utilizing reading stations.

In Science this week, learners have continued researching crop rotation for the TCE Garden Design Challenge. Learners are excited to begin their new designs for our garden!

What's Happening at TCE?

2017-2018 TCE Registration

Please return the yellow registration form as soon as possible, even if your child will not be attending TCE next year. This is very important for enrollment purposes!

Math and STAAR Reading

Third and fourth grade will be taking the Math STAAR test Monday, May 8th and the Reading STAAR test Tuesday, May 9th. It is very important that your child comes to school on these days. Just like when we took the Writing STAAR, there are no visitors allowed in the building this week. You can drop anything off at the office if you need.  Just some friendly reminders:
  • Please have your child eat a healthy breakfast so they can focus.
  • Your child will be provided with snacks, so they do not need to bring one from home. They may bring a water bottle.
  • Your child will need to bring books with them to read after the test.
  • We will be testing first thing in the morning, so it is essential that your child is on time.
  • There will be no more tutoring this school year starting the week of May 8th.
