Our class goal is $300. If our class collects $100, we will get an extra recess. If our class collects $200 we will have a bring your toy to school day. If our class reaches our goal of $300, Mr. Wallace will provide the class with a pizza lunch. This is a great cause. Please consider giving!!
We are looking forward to seeing what a difference our “Thorpe Creek Squad” can make in the lives of so many superheroes!

Being Thoughtful with our Daily Snacks!
Hi TCE Cardinals!
Did you know that bringing reusable containers for your daily snack and in your lunchbox is better than using plastic baggies? We have learned that plastic
baggies take 500-1,000 years to decompose. We are recycling the plastic baggies, but bringing a reusable container is better for the Earth! Try to use more
reusable containers than plastic baggies.
Thank you for helping us change the world by reducing one plastic baggie at a time!

Daily Snacks
Please consider sending a snack to school with your child each day. Our approved list (to keep all of our Cardinals safe - especially those living with food allergies) include:
fruit
veggies
cheese
Pepperidge Farm Goldfish
Skinny Popcorn
We appreciate donations for our students that are without a snack, as well. Thank you for considering!

We are Learning
Reading
We learned about Haikus this week. Talk to your child about what a Haiku is and about the importance of syllables in Haikus. The students seem to be really interested in reading these and are excited to start writing these as well. We will continue reading new types of poetry next week.
Writing
Math
We used this week to review some older math concepts. We work daily on addition and subtraction facts but we made sure to review 3 digit addition and subtraction facts. We even went further back and went over place value and even and odd as well as other number concepts. I was very pleased with all the information we have retained from earlier in the year. Next week we will continue to review concepts while also pushing students on concepts that we will learn next year as well.
