What will we be learning next week?
Language Arts
Reading: We will continue to read words that follow a pattern as well as words that do not follow a pattern. We have been using the ampify app to work on phonemic awareness skills.
Writing: We will have some fun with halloween when writing.
Phonics/Grammar: We will look at how silent /e/ changes the short vowel /i/ into the long vowel /i/ sound. Are you looking for some extra activities to help your child at home? We are putting some ideas on the pretest.
Unit 2 SNAP Words: big, eat, make, take, have, out, came, same, home, more, not, of, put, your, I'm, into, little, now, three, if, or, read.
Reading at Home: Providing your child reading time each night, allows them the opportunity to practice their reading strategies and grow in fluency.
Math
We will use pictures, objects, and number sentences to solve change unknown and start unknown word problems. We will continue to collect, sort, and organize data.
Math Activities to do with your child
Have your child pick a two-digit number. Ask them to tell you what is 10 more or 10 less. Have a discussion with your child. Here are some questions you can ask. What is one more and one less? Is it even or odd? How many tens does your number have? Can you tell me the expanded form? What digit is in one place, etc.?
We will start talking about customs and traditions that we see around the world.
Weekly Announcements
- Please don't forget to charge your child's iPad nightly.
- Thank you to everyone who came out to the color run! We had a blast!
THANKSGIVING BASKETS: St. Ann’s Catholic Parish is once again sponsoring Thanksgiving basket deliveries (or a pickup option at St Ann’s Church if you prefer). This program provides families in need with a complete Thanksgiving dinner for the entire family. The baskets will be delivered to your home the weekend before Thanksgiving, so it is important that an adult representing the family be at the home between the hours of Noon and 4PM on Sunday November 19th, 2023. The deadline to sign up for a basket is October 20th, 2023.
Please completely fill out the following form by clicking this link: 2023 St. Ann's Thanksgiving Baskets. You may contact Nurse Crenshaw with any questions at kcrenshaw@coppellisd.com or 214-496-7816.
Great Information To Know
- We are noticing more learners are coming without fully charged iPads. Please make sure you're charging them every night AND sending the charger to school each day! Thank you for your help with this!
- 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.
1A Mrs. Vincenzo (1A and 1B language arts/social studies teacher) lvincenzo@coppellisd.com
1B Mrs. Harle (1A and 1B math/science teacher) kharle@coppellisd.com
1C Mrs. Brown (1C and 1D language arts/social studies teacher) ebrown@coppellisd.com
1D Mrs. Sork (1C and 1D math/science teacher) msork@coppellisd.com
School Lunches
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.
