Parent Newsletter
Ms. Martin shares out our campus newsletter via email each Friday. Make sure to read her newsletter for information regarding campus news. This week's newsletter can be found linked here.

Math Resources
If you are looking for optional resources to support and review with your child at home regarding addition and subtraction problems, please click here to find a folder of practice problems to print at home. Videos for the different strategies taught in class can be found here. You can also check out Greg Tang Math for a word problem generator to support your child with addition and subtraction word problems at home. We are currently working with numbers from 1-100. 
(School Kit Math is a free app for tablets that your child may utilize at home. The tools include numbers lines, 100's charts, tens frames, and many other digital forms of math manipulatives we use in class during the day.)

Town Center Ceremony to Honor Veterans
Please plan to join us Monday, November 11th in the TCE Gyn at 8:00 AM to help us honor or Town Center families and friends who are veterans. We'd like to extend the invitation to any veterans that are able to attend. It's a small way for us to say thank you. The program will be approximately thirty minutes, and we will have refreshments afterward for our special guests and their families. 

We are also putting together a digital photo display this year, so if possible, please send in a photo of your special veteran, even if they are not able to attend the ceremony. We will collect these through Thursday, November 7th. 

If you know of a veteran that is able to attend our November 11th ceremony or have a photo you would like to be included in our display, please email Ms. Martin at jmartin@coppellisd.com.
