TCE's 2nd Annual Culture Night
We are excited to have our 2nd annual Culture Night at TCE.  Last year was such a great success with all the dishes you shared with our TCE community.  If you would like to share an appetizer, main dish or dessert on March 28th please sign up below. We will get back with you with more specific details as the event grows near. TCE will provide sample cups to share the dish you bring.  This event was successful because of all of our families' contributions. Thank you for making our school so great! 

Be on the lookout for more information about this event including performances and interactive stations!

Miscellaneous:

*** Our rooms moms did a wonderful job on the Valentine's Day party -- THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!!!! We are  glad so many parents could come out and celebrate with us! 

***We are collecting soup cans for Metrocrest Services.  If you would like to donate, there is a first grade soup donation box at the end of the hallway!  This is a great way to teach our little ones about giving back to the community!  

What Are We Learning?
Language Arts:
     Spelling:  We will not have spelling next week.  We will review past spelling rules. 
     Reading:  We can't get enough of our new books in our Reader's Workshop bags!! We love to read!! 
     Writing:  We will continue to work on writing in the past tense. 

Social Studies:
We will continue our study on Famous Americans. We have put their information on a class timeline. Now, we will be making timelines of our lives. 

Math:
We will be concluding our money/time unit.  Learners will benefit from ongoing discussions at home regarding time and money.  We will  also discuss how to interpret information from a bar graph by comparing the lengths of the bars.  

Math Take Home Activity:
Have your child look through newspapers and magazines for examples of bar graphs. Talk about what information is shown in each graph you find.  

Science:
Learners will continue to investigate soil.  We are hoping to make a trip to the community garden sometime this week.  We will compare the soil from TCE's garden to the community garden.
