2nd Grade Announcements

  • Family Lunch Fridays - Our campus is open each Friday for lunch visitors! When you arrive you will sign in at the front office and receive a visitor badge that must be worn at all times. You will need a photo ID (license or passport). You will be able to eat lunch with your child at the designated tables for lunch visitors. You may only eat with your child. No other learners may be invited to eat with you. You may purchase lunch in the cafeteria or bring a lunch with you. Parents will be dismissed from the cafeteria. You will need to go back through the front office to sign out at the end of lunchtime. Please see Ms. Martin's Principal Newsletter for details on who may eat with your child and a form to fill out for non-parent lunch visitors. No lunch visitors on Friday, December 9th, and December 16th due to early release. 
  • Background Checks - If you have not had a chance to fill out a background check please fill one out for yourself or update last year's! Click here to register as a new volunteer or confirm your information from last year. This must be completed every school year for you to volunteer at the school. The district will send you an email when your background check has cleared. Any opportunities for volunteering at the school, including holiday parties, will require a cleared background check. Once completed it lasts for the remainder of the school year.  When you create your account, make sure to click on the add new application button. (see picture below)

Second Grade Holiday Fun



PTO Kendra Scott Fundraiser
PTO has partnered with Kendra Scott for a fundraiser on Monday, December 12th from 4-6 pm at their Southlake store. If you are unable to attend this is an online shopping code in the attached flyer (GIVEBACK-DAAWC). This is a terrific kickback to our school, with 20% of all purchases being returned to TCE. 


TCE Giving Tree and Canned Food Drive


What we are learning?

Math Workshop - In Math we will continue to finish up our unit on learning to add and subtract numbers using mental strategies and algorithms. Learners will solve word problems involving addition and subtraction within 1,000 using various strategies. Learners will also explain the strategy they chose to use to solve a given addition or subtraction problem. 



Reading Workshop - In Reading Workshop, learners will participate in a Holiday Reader's Theatre. Don't forget that our Library Day is Thursday each week! Your child should check out 3 books each week - one nonfiction, one "good fit" and one free choice.

Writing Workshop- In Writing Workshop, learners will respond to different holiday writing prompts. 

Social Studies - In Social Studies, learners will present their presentations on their family's traditions and customs. We would like each learner to create a video or poster to showcase a tradition/custom to share with the class. This does not have to be a holiday tradition, but can be if you choose. If you create a video, please be sure that it is no longer than 4 minutes long. If you have any questions, please email Mrs. McKinney at kmckinney@coppellisd.com.

Science - In Science, learners will identify and compare properties of freshwater and saltwater and name some practical ways to conserve water.
