2nd Grade Announcements
- Lions Club - Each year the Lions Club of Coppell provides holiday baskets and toys for families in the Coppell ISD attendance area. Last year Lion's Club provided a special Christmas for over 127 families and hundreds of children who might otherwise have gone without. The food baskets and toys are delivered by members of the Lions Club of Coppell, and the identity of the recipients is kept confidential. All Lion's Club needs need to know is the address and the family demographics, sizes, and any special needs the family may have. If your family would like to apply for a holiday basket and toys, please email Town Center's counselor, Kelly Matlock, at kmatlock@coppellisd.com.
- 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)
What we are learning?
Math Workshop - In Math we will continue until Winter Break 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.
Writing Workshop- In Writing Workshop, learners will write "If I Were an Elf" and identify the parts of a friendly letter.
Social Studies - In Social Studies, learners will continue learning about cultural and ethnic celebrations.
Science - In Science, learners will begin studying rocks. For one of our first activities, we will be learning how rocks are alike and how they are different. In order to do this, we will be sorting rocks by color, texture, size, etc. Please help your child find three rocks, put them in a Ziploc bag (with your child's name on the bag), and return them to school on Monday, December 5th. It would be best if each of these rocks were different from the others in some way, for example, in different sizes, shapes, colors, etc. You are also welcome to send a small rock or mineral collection if you have one (again, please label anything you send in). Thank you for helping your child find their rocks for this sorting activity!
