Week of May 22-26



Hello TCE Families! This will be our last 4th grade blog post of the year. It's been another great week in C-Hall, and we are looking forward to ending the school year off right next week!

In Math this week, we have been completing an assortment of math activities that have reviewed our content from this school year, such as a Decimal Challenge and our Math Adventure Stories. Some students even had the chance to figure out math problems pertaining to the length of the school year!

In Language Arts and reading, we have been working on a research based project based on your learner's passion. They are writing open-ended questions, gathering data and creating charts, and researching information from databases. The learners are also creating advertisements using persuasive techniques. We will be finishing up by presenting our research projects.

In Social Studies, we are learning about the hardships of Texas after the Civil War. We will be finishing up with the cattle drive and railroad industry.

In Science this week, learners have been wrapping up their TCE Garden Design Challenge. Please see some examples below of the great work our learners have been doing!
