Please note that every nine weeks the same standard may be reported on but the rigor and expectations increase from nine weeks to nine weeks. Please reach out to your child's teacher(s) if you have any questions or would like clarification regarding their report card.

What are we learning?

Math: This week learners will continue to add and subtract two-digit numbers using mental strategies and algorithms. Learners will apply their knowledge of addition and subtraction strategies to solve word problems involving addition and subtraction within 100.


Language Arts: In Reading Workshop we will continue with our unit in nonfiction. Readers will learn how to figure out what keywords mean, and also explore how to grow knowledge across books. Please remember to keep up with your weekly iStation requirement and your Reading Logs!

In Writing Workshop we will add more details to better describe our books!!


Science: This week learners will trace and compare patterns in movement such as sliding, spinning, and rolling. Learners will make predictions about the way an object will move based on their physical properties. 


Social Studies: In Social Studies we will take a look at timelines. We will begin by building a timeline of our own life, and then create a timeline of our life, and then create a timeline of the history of Coppell.

Library Curbside Pickup
Library Curbside will begin next Wednesday, 9/16 for our Virtual Learners (VLs). VLs are encouraged to put books on hold in Destiny (limit 2). Once books are pulled and checked out, I will send an email to the VL and parent(s) notifying them that their holds are ready to pick up. It is important to note that Destiny may say that the books are ready, however, that does not mean Mrs. Mancuso has pulled the books from the shelf and checked them out. Please wait until you have received a confirmation email from Mrs. Mancuso with the next curbside date. 

TCE Curbside Pickup will be on Wednesday's from 11:00-12:30pm in the Front Loop. Library books will be quarantined for 7 days before they are checked in and removed from the account. 



If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Mancuso at kmancuso@coppellisd.com.


Week at a Glance
Now that we've had four weeks of virtual instruction, practicing both using the Schoology calendar and the completion checkmarks in Schoology, we're going to begin to simplify the week at a glance. You'll still find the week of glance linked here with the live times for all core content areas. The main difference is that we will not longer outline the assignments. We will continue to use the Completion Checkmarks in Schoology. This will be completely updated and ready for next week by Sunday evening! 


What are we learning?

Math: This week learners will use standard, word, and expanded forms to represent numbers up to 100.


Language Arts: In Reading Workshop we will continue with "tricky word" strategies. Be sure that you are reading in a "good fit" book so that you can practice! In Writing Workshop, we will explore ways to make our writing even more powerful by using figurative language and synonyms. We will also be using the CUPS model to edit our writing.  


Science: This week learners will predict how physical changes affect objects, such as heating and cooling as well as predict which physical changes go backward to get back to the original state. 


Social Studies: In Social Studies, we will begin our research on our Historical Figures. We will be recording our findings in our digital Keynote journal that you downloaded last week.
