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!

What Are We Learning?
Language Arts:
     Spelling:  We will be learning words with the /ou/ spelling when we return.
     Reading We will be getting more challenging books in our Reader's Workshop bags that will be in our new DRA levels.  Our Reader's Workshop bags include sight words, fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.  
     Writing:  Editing sentences to look for mistakes with capitals, punctuation, plural words, and sentence structure.  We will continue writing in our daily journals.  

Social Studies: We will review wants, needs, goods, services, consumers, and producers.  We will read Alexander, Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday and discuss the importance of spending/saving and making good choices.

Math:  Learners will classify and sort regular and irregular two-dimensional shapes based on attributes using informal geometric language.  

Math Take Home ActivityGather some household objects such as photos, coins, and napkins.  Ask your child to sort them by shape.  Discuss the attributes of the shapes. 

Science:  We are so excited to begin our Engineering project! We have been learning about different earth materials and their uses.  We will use what we learn about soil, clay, and water to create the perfect mortar.
