Weekly Announcements
- Thank you to everyone who was able to come to parent/teacher conferences. If you weren't able to come, we will send information home about district testing and information about core subjects. If you have any questions, please reach out to us.

What transition words are you using to help tell a narrative story?
Can you spell some four letter words that contain any of the 5 short vowels?
Language Arts
Reading - We will continue to solve tricky words using reading strategies, grow our stamina when reading and be able to have great discussions about books read aloud to us.
Writing - We are doing great with our narrative writing. Next week we will move from group writing to independent writing with a narrative story. I can't wait to watch their success bloom!
Phonics - We are moving on to long vowels with a silent /e/. We will start with the long /a/ sound using silent /e/ to make the vowel long. We are also talking about blends (when two consonants together make two separate sounds) at the beginning of the word and at the end of a word.
Math
This week, learners are comparing whole numbers up to 120 using place value and comparative language such as greater than, less than, and equal to. They’re also learning how to show these comparisons using symbols: >, <, and =. Encourage your child to explain how they know which number is greater or less—it’s a great way to build number sense and confidence!
Write two numbers (for example, 87 and 79) and ask your child which is greater and which is less. Have them explain their thinking using words and symbols. You can even make it a game—take turns being the “teacher” and have your child quiz you!
Practice counting to 120 forward and backward from any number
Skip count by twos, fives, and tens to 120
Draw base ten blocks to represent numbers up to 120
Practice writing numbers in both expanded form (100 + 20 + 3) and standard form (123)
Play games that sort numbers into even and odd
Ask your child to show numbers in different ways (expanded form, word form, base ten blocks, and base ten words )
- Please make sure to look at your child's daily behavior calendar. 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. :-) If the day is colored green or does not have any color (they often forget to color it) then it was a great day for them!
- Please review and take out all papers from their take-home folder each day.
- Attendance is taken at 10:00 each day. Please try to arrange appointments around this time so that your child can be present when attendance is taken.
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.

Immediate families will be able to eat lunch with their child at school on Fridays for the remainder of the year
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.
Absences
Attendance is taken at 10:00 daily. If your child is absent you will need to fill out the following form: CLICK HERE Please make sure you fill out this form each time your child is absent. If no form is filled out, your child's absence will be listed as "unexcused".
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 store bought and in their original packaging that lists the ingredients. They need to be nut free. 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 eaten at school. Please have all treats brought to school first thing in the morning. Also, please do not send goodie bags to pass out. Birthday invitations are only able to be passed out at school by the teacher if the entire class is invited. Teachers will also not be able to forward digital invitations as school e-mails are only allowed to be used for school business.
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.
