What will we be learning next week?
Language Arts
Reading: We will develop and use strategies to decode words. We will also start on our first list of first grade sight words.
Writing: Next week will be our last week of "free writing". We are working hard on putting those finger spaces in our writing and remembering capitals and periods when we write. We will also be talking about detailed illustrations to match our writing,
Grammar/Phonics: Next week we will begin our spelling/phonics curriculum. We will learn a new spelling rule each week. We will take a pre-test at the beginning of the week and a post-test at the end of the week. A letter will come home on Tuesday explaining our spelling. Please make sure you read it so you understand how our spelling pre-tests/post-tests will work.
Math
Learners will continue to represent numbers in a variety of ways, such as word form, standard form, and expanded form. We will also compose and decompose numbers up to 20 in more than one way.
Social Studies We will talk about communities and the positivie outcomes of having order and fairness in a classroom or community. We will also talk about important people in our community.

Great Information To Know
- 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.
Teacher Emails
The best way to get in touch with your teacher is by email. Please email the teacher that can best answer the subject of your question. If it is a general question, please email your homeroom teacher.

School Lunches
Who can visit my child for lunch?
Starting October 13th, 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 e-school system is eating with the child, we will need written documentation of your approval.
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.
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.
Volunteering
If you think you would like to volunteer at TCE this year, please fill out the volunteer background check. The sooner the better! You can find information about how to fill out the form and the actual form on our TCE webpage. This needs to be done each. year. You will need a background check to help in the classroom, field trips, field day, etc.
Photos From The Week
Only learners who have "all" selected on their disclosure form will be able to be featured in our Photos From The Week section. You can change your child's status by contacting the front office or emailing Mrs. Fairchild at lfairchild@coppellisd.com.
