Kindergarten - 2nd grade Author Visit
Author and former CISD Educator, Julie Wolf, will be visiting our TCE Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade classes on Monday, May 6! We are looking forward to this special opportunity to have the author read aloud one of her books, show us how she became a published author, and share fun activities related to her stories. Families are welcome to purchase their own copies of Julie Wolf's book from her website or Amazon. If you would like the author to autograph the book, please have your child bring the book to Mrs. Keene-Carlson (TCE Librarian) before the date of Ms. Wolf's visit so that she can prepare it for her to sign.

What Are We Learning?
Language Arts:
Reading: We will continue to assess all of the learners for their end of year reading level and sight words. We are so proud of their first grade accomplishments.
Writing: We will be taking our end of year writing assessment to show our amazing progress with our writing skills.
Social Studies: We will continue our study of landforms by identifying the characteristics of different landforms around our world.
Math: We will begin our study on the use of nonstandard units to measure the length of an object.
Math Take Home Activity:
Give your child paper clips or other small objects that are the same length. Have him or her use the paper clips to measure objects around the house. Science: We will be discussing animals and their habitats. We will explore where animals live, how they move and what they eat.
Science: This week we will be exploring how plants and animals depend on other living things to survive. This might be a baby animal depending on its parents for food and safety or a bird depending on a tree for shelter.
