Happening in the Beehive...

Welcome to a new school year at TMSE! I am so excited to start our SIXTH year, and I am so glad to have your family as part of the adventure!

Learning to Be IB!

At TMSE, we are working hard to become IB Learners. The qualities of an IB Learner include: reflective, open-minded, thinker, inquisitive, risk-taker, knowledgeable, communicator, principled, caring, and balanced. Throughout the school year, we work to build these qualities in all learners, knowing that all students already display many of these qualities. We want them to know it, too!

Down to the Wire

This week wraps up another great school year at TMSE. Through our growth as an International Baccalaureate candidate school, there have certainly been a few changes this year as we continue to figure out what is best for our learners. I know that I have loved the challenge and the changes, and I hope that you have, too! This summer, be sure to read, read, read! The Tuscaloosa Public Library has a fun summer reading program that is a great way to keep your student moving forward as they head into third grade. Also, do something fun! Go to the zoo, McWane, the park, the pool, the sprinkler in your backyard...anything that puts a smile on your student's face and gives you a great day to make some memories! I love summer, as it is a great time to rest and recharge for the coming school year. I always look forward to spending the summer with my girls, and then by August, I am looking forward to the coming school year. I hope that you are able to enjoy a restful, fun, and safe summer and I am already excited about what your student will continue to achieve beyond second grade! Mrs. Bechtel
