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!

Bits from the Birdhouse...

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

  • Continue Unit 1 in Investigations. This week, we will begin to practice strategies for problem solving. Watch for homework! 
  • Continue to practice addition combinations. 
  • Don’t forget to practice word study at home! 
  • Guided reading is off to a great start! Always ask your student if they have book work.  
  • Continue Unit 1 in writing. We are working to add detail to our narratives and tell a complete story. 
  • Discover responsibilities of a mayor, governor, and president. 
  • We will have Classworks reading this Wednesday.
  • We will complete our reading baseline test for the standards-based grade reports.  
  • Look for information about choices for Partnership classes. We begin September 16! 
  • Read, read, read.

THANK YOU to everyone who ordered from Scholastic. I earned 5,000 points for our classroom, which works out to around FIFTY BOOKS that I can choose for the classroom library. Amazing! I am humbled by your support. 

Also, if you have not returned your student's coupon book or envelope with payment, please do that as soon as you can. 

Registration and payment for Extra Explorations is due by September 10 if you choose for your student to participate. 

We’re ready for a 
great week!
