TCE 5th Grade: Friday, September 3rd

We had a fantastic week in fifth grade! The fifth grade teachers will continue to update our blog each week and send it out to families as part of our communication this year. Please take time to read through the blog each week, as we will include important updates, reminders, upcoming events, pictures, and more!

Curriculum Night

5th grade had Curriculum Night on Thursday, September 2nd at 5:00 PM on Zoom. You can access the recording of our Zoom here. You can access a copy of the presentation here. Next week we will update our blog with answers to the questions from the chat.

TCE BOOK FAIR

This fall we have both in-person and online options for purchasing. Due to our current visitor policy and to provide a way for our virtual learners to purchase as well, we are excited about the online option. Please see below for important information:

Thursday, September 2nd - Online shopping option opens!

Visit https://www.scholastic.com/bf/towncenterelementaryschool to purchase books that will be shipped directly to your house.
Both in-person and virtual learners can choose this option

Tuesday, September 7th - Shopping available in the TCE Library

For in-person learners only (families/visitors will not be able to attend)
We encourage you to use the eWallet feature. Instead of sending cash with your children, you can create an eWallet account and place a predetermined amount of money on the account for your children to shop the in person fair. To create an eWallet go to https://www.scholastic.com/bf/towncenterelementaryschool

iPads

TCE 5th graders should come to school each day with their iPad and charger. Please ensure your child charges his/her iPad each evening. Your child should also check periodically to ensure his/her iPad's software is up to date (settings --> general --> software update).

Headphones

In addition to having a charged iPad every day, we also need the students to have their headphones for class every day. Our supply list included four pairs of headphones. Please help remind your son/daughter to keep their headphones in their pencil bags.

Snack

We have a short snack time each day while we continue to work. 5th graders do not each lunch until 1:00 PM each day, so it's important that they have a healthy and nutritious snack each day to fuel their bodies. We also ask that the snack they bring is completely free of peanuts/tree nuts. This will help provide a safe environment for all learners. Thank you for your help!

Water Bottles

The water fountains at school are not currently open, so the students only have access to the bottle filling stations. As you know, it's very hot outside, so the kids are very thirsty when they come back from recess. Please help us by ensuring that you son/daughter brings a water bottle to school each day.

Breakfast

Lots of our 5th Graders have been enjoying eating breakfast at school in the mornings. If your son/daughter wants to eat breakfast here at school, please help them get to school by 7:30 so they have enough time to eat before school starts. As a reminder, TCE doors open at 7:20, and students are expected in class by 7:40.
