On December 6th, we have the 5th Grade Music Program. Ms. Jacobsen, our music teacher, has asked students to wear a white shirt with jeans. She told learners they may wear a holiday scarf or hat if they would like, but it is not a requirement. The Music Program will be from 6:00 - 6:30 p.m.
Each year the Lions Club of Coppell provides holiday baskets and toys to families in the Coppell ISD attendance area. Last year the Lion's Club provided a special Christmas for over 130 families and hundreds of children who might otherwise have gone without.
The food baskets and toys are delivered by members of the Lions Club, and the identity of the recipients are kept confidential. If your family would benefit from a holiday basket and toys from the Lions Club, please complete the form at the link below and return it to TCE's counselor, Kelly Matlock, by Friday, December 8th. Email kmatlock@coppellisd.com if you would like a paper copy sent home.
Your learner came home with a letter earlier this year that explains Sky Ranch Camp and Payments. You can view the letter here. Our Sky Ranch trip will be May 8th-10th. There will be a parent meeting on Thursday, January 18, 2024 at 5:30 PM for all camp information. If you would like to pay online, you may visit this link. Please contact your homeroom teacher or Mrs. Heingartner, the assistant principal, if you would like to discuss payment plans.

This week we finished our Reading & Writing Units on Informational Texts. We will start our Poetry Units next week. In writing, students will create poetry anthologies which will include a variety of types of poetry. In reading, we will explore the different types of figurative language. We'll also read and analyze poetry.
In Social Studies, we have been learning about the three branches of government. Next week learners will review what they've learned about the government before taking a Government Test.
This week, we continued focusing on different strategies to add and subtract fractions. We also started learning about multiplying fractions.
This week, we started our Unit 3 on Earth's changing surface. Learners learned about the properties of soil and completed different soil observations. Next week, we will focus on learning about sedimentary rocks.

A Note From the Fifth Grade Teachers
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).
Water Bottles
Please help ensure that your child brings a water bottle to school each day. While learners are able to purchase a water bottle from the cafeteria, that is not an every day solution. We have multiple water bottle filling stations on campus, so learners can easily refill their bottles.
Snack
We will 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!
Car Tags
Please do your best to keep your car tag visible when/if you come through the carline to pick up your 5th grader. It helps us get the learners into their cars quickly and efficiently. This is especially helpful when it's raining, extremely hot, or extremely cold.
