Valentine's Day
On Tuesday, February 14th we will celebrate Valentines Day with a class party from 2:00 to 3:00. Parents are welcome to attend, and we would love to have you! You will need to check into the front office before the party with your drivers license or ID.
Coats and Winter Wear
As the weather turns colder and students are needing coats for recess we would ask a few things:
Please put your child's name or initials in coats, hats, mittens, etc... These items get misplaced often and it is so helpful if there is a name inside so we can get it back to the correct friend!
Next, please practice with your child putting their winter coats / jackets on and zipping or buttoning them independently. While we are MORE than happy to help with the zipping and buttoning, etc... the more friends that can do it by themselves the more time we get out on the playground rather than getting zipped, buttoned, and dressed for the weather! We would so appreciate your help!
TCE Yearbook
Order your TCE Yearbook today! These are such a special way to remember your child's year in Kindergarten at TCE! We will also have a special day in the spring when the kid's can sign each other's yearbooks!

Take a Peek at our Week
Language Arts
Writer's Workshop:
This week in Writer's Workshop we will continue our unit on "How To" writing. This unit focuses on writing to teach others. We will learn about transition words such as first, next, and last. We will write simple sentences that can help us share information and things we are good at!
Reader's Workshop:
This week in Reader's workshop we will continue our unit called Boosting Our Reading Powers! We will take the skills we learned in Super Readers and give them a BOOST! This week we will boost up our Super powers by focusing on slider power (sounding out words) and think power!
Phonics:
This week in phonics we will continue our focus on VOWEL Power. We will talk about the middle vowel sounds (short vowel sounds) in CVC words. We will practice hearing and recording sounds and identifying the correct vowel for each CVC word.
Math
In Math this week, we will be continuing our learning about comparing teen numbers! We will become experts about using comparing words like "greater than," "less than" and "equal to" to compare our teen numbers. We will also celebrate Valentine's Day with some fun Valentine's Math activities!!
Social Studies
In Social Studies this week, we will continue our unit on Kindness and Friends. We will practice writing upper/lower case letters in our handwriting book.
Science
In Science, we will continue learning about Earth Materials (Soil). We will observe, describe, and compare different properties of soil and give examples of ways soil can be useful. Hoping we will have an opportunity (weather permitting) to go outside and use our tools such as magnifying glasses, shovels, and sifters to investigate different soils in our garden. I wonder what we will find?
