Announcements
- Safety Patrol is up and running, and our fifth graders are doing a fantastic job serving our school. Each learner that has signed up to participate in Safety Patrol received a copy of the Safety Patrol Schedule, which you can also access here.
- We will start Texan Town this Friday, September 16th. In preparation for Texan Town, our learners will have the chance to fill out a job application and rank their top five club choices. Learners will also have the opportunity to run for Student Council on Monday. We encourage our learners to take a risk and try for Student Council if they're interested.
- Destination Imagination and the Geography Club are both after school programs that will be offered this year. To learn more about these clubs, please access these links: Destination Imagine & Geography Club.
Classroom Communities
- We have emphasized that at TCE, we are one big family. In keeping with that theme, we will be showcasing family pictures in our classrooms again this year. If you have not already done so, please send a picture of your family to your child's teacher. You may email the picture or send in a printed picture. Thank you for your help with this!
Curriculum Tidbits
Math
This week in Math we will continue to focus on Whole Number Operations. The learners will be working on estimating and different algebraic expressions.
Science
This week in Science we will begin investigating different properties of matter. We will be looking at the different ways that we can describe properties of matter.
Reading
In reading, we have been enjoying our first short story, Charles, through the Junior Great Books curriculum. The learners will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of self-paced stations including focusing on vocabulary, point of view, and theme. Then we will wrap up our study of the story with a "Great Debate" in which the learners will discuss their ideas about the story.
Writing & Spelling
This next week we will begin our narrative writing unit. We are excited to dive back into the narrative writing process and watch as our learners get creative with their writing. Learners will have the opportunity to work through a set of blended, self-paced lessons in which they will learn about refining their craft as writers.
In spelling, the learners will continue to get a new list each week, study and understand the spelling patterns throughout the week, and take a quiz on Friday. As requested at Curriculum Night, you may access the learner's spelling lists on our class websites.
