Math - Learners will say a number one more, one less, 10 more, 10 less, 100 more, and 100 less than a given number. Students will also continue to work on using mental math to solve equations. We will also continue to solve word problems with the unknown in various positions. Please continue to work with your child on counting by twos to 120. I am so impressed with this group of mathematicians!
Count by tens from any number - https://www.yout-ube.com/watch?v=ncgNKmESFLY
- Generate story problems about family members. For example, Mom went to the store and bought some cookies. She ate half a dozen cookies in the car. Now she has 10 cookies. How many cookies did mom have in the beginning? :-)
- Practice counting to 120 by ones from any given number.
- Practice counting to 120 by tens from any given number.
- Practice counting to 120 by fives.
- Practice counting to 120 by twos.
- DREAMBOX - 15 minutes daily. Please do not tell your child the answers. The program is designed to help them at their level.
Spelling/Grammar/Phonics: We will review parts of speech (noun/verb/adjective) and look for them in the sentences we read. I will also finish up my M-Class district assessment which is a dyslexia screener. Results of your child's score will come home on February 21st. In spelling we will look at how /oa/ and /ow/ can also make the long /o/ sound.
Writing: We will continue our unit on non-fiction writing by creating bubble maps to organize our thinking. We will concentrate on knowing what is a "fact" when writing and what is an "opinion" when writing.
Reading: We will talk about how to read a non-fiction book by utilizing the table of contents, glossary, and labels.
**Don't forget to let your child log on to the Kids A-Z (Raz-Kids) app at home. The "Level Up" part of the app is excellent for listening, reading, and answering comprehension questions.
Social Studies - We will describe the life of a historical figure and how they influenced their community, state, and nation.
Science - We will observe and record changes in the appearance of objects in the sky such as the moon, stars, and sun.
TCE Parents and Families – Yearbook Photos Needed!
Volunteer Background Check Form - REQUIRED TO VOLUNTEER
If you anticipate volunteering on campus at all this year, please fill it out. A new one must be completed each school year.
- School begins at 7:40. If your child arrives after 7:40 they will need to go to the office and receive a tardy pass. Please make sure your child arrives in the building before 7:40 each day.
- Please remember to send your child's Ipad to school every day. Also, please make sure that it is charged every evening. Thank you!!
- Please make sure to look at your child's daily behavior calendar. Our goal is for the children to color in the day with the appropriate behavior. Many times, the children forget. If it is not colored, please assume it is a great day. If you see a teacher comment, we would love for you to have a conversation with your child about what happened to receive the comment. Please know many warnings were given before a comment was written. :-)
- Please review and take out all papers from their take-home folder each day.
Email is the best way to get in touch with your child's teacher:
- Mrs. Sork: msork@coppellisd.com (math)
- Mrs. Vincenzo: lvincenzo@coppellisd.com (language arts)
- Mrs. McCullough: jmccullough@coppellisd.com (science and social studies)
Dismissal
If you change the way your child goes home at the end of the day, please email your teacher. Children will be sent home their "usual" way unless we hear directly from a parent. Also, please make sure that the teacher has responded to your email to ensure that we got the message. If you don't hear back from your teacher, please call the office to let them know about dismissal changes.
Celebrations & Birthday Treats
We will celebrate your child’s birthday with a spotlight on our daily school-wide announcements and a goody bag from the school that contains several items, including a coupon for a free treat in the cafeteria.
If you choose to send birthday food treats to school, they will need to be in their original packaging that lists the ingredients. Please send the treats to our school nurse. She will look over the ingredients and then deliver them to your child's homeroom class. These treats will be sent home with the learners at the end of the day for them to enjoy at home.
Who can visit my child for lunch?
Every Friday families are allowed to eat lunch in the cafeteria.
District guidelines limit lunchroom visitors at the elementary level to parents, immediate family members with written permission from a parent, and campus mentors. Immediate family members are defined as the student’s parents/step-parents, siblings, grandparents, or any person residing in the home. A parent can list the person(s) who have permission to have lunch for the entire school year.
If anyone other than the parent(s) listed as guardians in our district eschool system is eating with the child, we will need written documentation of your approval.
