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:
***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!
***If you are volunteering for our field trip, please make sure that you do your background check asap. You will not be able to attend unless that is completed at least 2 weeks in advance. THANK YOU!!!!

Math:
Learners will be required to use higher order thinking skills and/or multiple steps to solve math problems this week . We will continue to discuss how to interpret different information from a bar graph and also how we use tally marks to count on a T-chart.
Math Take Home Activity:
Please encourage your child to look through newspapers and magazines for examples of graphs. Talk about what information is shown in each graph you find. Together with your child, make a T-chart showing how many time the two of you say the word "eat"during a meal. Then have your child say the number.
Science:
Due to the weather last week, we were unable to go to the garden. We are hoping to make a trip to the community garden this week and will compare the soil from TCE's garden to the community garden. We will also begin discussing various ways we can use rocks, soil, and water.
