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. Due to the Coppell Homecoming Parade, we have rescheduled our workshop to Wednesday, October 30th. Thank you so much for being flexibility!

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!

In Writing, we will continue exploring our Unit 2 of exploring non-fiction writing. In grammar, we will be working on subject-verb agreement. The spelling rule this week is "i before e".
In Reading, we will continue exploring non-fiction texts. Learners have been checking out nonfiction texts from the library and practicing the skills we learn in class. We will be exploring text features, figuring how to discover the meaning to unknown words, and text structure.
In Math, learners will be continuing to learn about multiplication using various strategies.
In Science, we have began our Unit 2 about force, motion, and energy. The learners will explore the five types of energy through digital ports, energy and thermal stations. Students will also get to enjoy "spooky" science on Thursday 10/31.
In TX History, we will continue our Unit 2 about Europeans settlers in Texas. We will continue with learning about motivations of explorers and Spanish settlements through readings, activities, and a mind mission.
