Hello 4th Grade Town Center Families! Please see below for class updates and reminders:
Fall Parent Teacher Conferences
If you were unable to meet with the teachers on Friday 10/11 due to the slots being filled, please reach out to your child's teacher to set up an alternative conference time. We are required to share the first nine weeks data, so we would love to meet with you!
Writer's Workshop for Parents
We would love to invite you for a Writer's Workshop. We will go through the writing process and model what our writing block looks like in our classrooms. We will also provide tools and resources for our learners to practice at home.
TCE Pumpkin Patch
This Fall we will be turning our very own TCE Garden into the TCE Pumpkin Patch! We are so excited about all of the wonderful learning activities and curriculum connections we will be able to make in our school garden! If you would like to help us turn our school garden into the TCE Pumpkin Patch, please consider donating a pumpkin (any size or type) to our garden! You can begin sending in pumpkins as soon as possible, and we will take them to the garden. You can also drop them off in the garden on your own!
Thank you so much!
