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!

Monday Musings


Happy Monday! I hope you and your family had a fantastic weekend! We have really had a great start to the school year. Guided reading groups are launching this week, and I am excited to see their reading grow over the school year! 

For the first few weeks of school, I sent home the Birdhouse Bits in your student's folder. Starting next Monday, you will only be able to find that information here, unless you have requested a paper copy. I would LOVE to have more parents follow us on Twitter. More parents really means more fun, especially if you see your student pop up. :) I will send a class email and note about this change before next Monday. Thanks so much for your support! 

Be sure to ask your student about this week’s happenings! We will...

  • Continue Unit 1 in Investigations. We will learn two new games this week. Watch for the directions so you can play at home! 
  • Introduce addition combinations. A letter will come home. 
  • Don’t forget to practice word study at home! 
  • Start guided reading groups this week. Watch for your student’s book bag to come home. 
  • Continue Unit 1 in writing. Students already have a great start on their writing! 
  • Learn about leaders in our community and how we are leaders, too!
  • We will have Classworks testing this Wednesday and next Wednesday for reading and math. 

We’re ready for a 
great week!
