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!

It's a (relatively) calm week...


Good morning! I hope that you all had a great weekend and are ready for a new week at school. We really don't have a lot going on this week, beyond our normal stuff. It's kinda nice! Be sure that you are working on your celebrations project to turn in next Tuesday, the 17th. 

We are having lots of fun with our data project. Be sure to ask your student about their survey question and how they are sorting their data. 

We have started an in-class project about celebrations around the world. Ask your student what country they are studying with their partner. Explore at home, and if they come across something really interesting, share it through a picture, short writing, or just an internet link. Have fun!

10 SCHOOL DAYS TO BREAK! 
Be sure to ask your student about this week’s happenings! We will...

  • Continue our Celebrations study. This week we will trade classes to study Hanukkah with Mrs. Swinney. Any connections? We would love to hear about them.

  • Continue Unit 4 of Investigations. This week we are working on gathering and representing data. 

  • Have new word study lists. Please be sure to study at home! 

We’re ready for a 
great week!
