Math - We will practice using our math strategies to solve math facts. We will also use strategies to solve subtraction and addition word problems with the unknown in various positions.
For example:
We found some pencils. I gave 8 pencils to my friend. Now I have 12. How many pencils did I have in the beginning? ? - 8 = 12
I have 20 pencils. I gave some to my friend. Now I have 12. How many did I give away? 20 - ? = 12
- Generate story problems about family members. For example, Mom went to the store and bought some cookies. She ate a 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 twos.
Social Studies - We will be learning about historical figures and how they influenced their community, state, and nation.

Miscellaneous Information From Your Teachers
*Please remember to send your child's Ipad to school every day. Also, please make sure that it is charged every evening as we do not have chargers at school for the Ipads. Thank you!!
*As the weather turns colder, please remember that we will still be going outside for recess. District policy states that if the "feels like" temperature is above 32 degrees we will be going outside for some fresh air. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriate for recess weather. Also, please write your child's name on the tag of their jacket. Names in the jackets help keep them out of lost and found!
*We have a short snack time each day. It is important that they have a healthy and nutritious snack each day to fuel their bodies. We also ask that the snack they bring is completely free of peanuts/tree nuts. This will help provide a safe environment for all learners. Also, please make sure that your child's water bottle has a "spill proof" cap. Thank you for your help!
Please read the following message from Mrs. Matlock, our wonderful counselor..........
In February your child’s Professional School Counselor will meet with all students about the topic of personal safety. Coppell ISD uses Play It Safe. Play It Safe is a research-based, age-appropriate abuse prevention program.
The purpose of this personal safety presentation is to provide all children with information and practical skills to protect themselves by recognizing, reacting to, and reporting potentially dangerous situations. Topics that will be addressed vary at each grade level as they consider the child’s age and maturity level.
Our Professional School Counselors are the presenters and will visit with each classroom, K-5, for approximately 30-45 minutes. Stories, puppets, group discussions, and videos are used in the low-key, age-appropriate presentation.
You can obtain more information about the Play it Safe program at the following link: https://playitsafe.org/index.php. Also, feel free to contact your child’s Professional School Counselor if you have any questions.
If you DO NOT want your child to view the Play It Safe Program, please email your campus' Professional School Counselor by Friday, February 4th. Your child’s teacher will make sure that your child goes to an alternate learning environment during the Play It Safe presentation.
If you would like your child to participate in this valuable learning opportunity no further action is needed.
Sincerely,
Anne Lehew, M.Ed., PSC
Coordinator of Counseling and Social Emotional Learning

TCE Yearbook
Birthday treats brought by students must be store bought, have its ingredients listed, and run by the nurse before given to students. It is recommended that the treats are individually wrapped and nonperishable treats that are easy to pass out. 😊 Birthday treats will continue to be passed out at the end of the day to be eaten at home.
Lunch is always fun!
