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 Monday again!

Good morning! I hope that you all had a great weekend! We were able to get away to the beach for the weekend...it was cold, but a much needed family weekend. This week we will...

1. Continue to work on our President's projects. I can't believe how many flags came back this morning! I love it! Everyone seems to really be enjoying the project. I can't wait to see how it all comes together.

2. Start unit 6 in Math. It's called "How many tens? How many ones?" and places a HUGE emphasis back on problem solving.

3. Pick portfolio pieces. We simply did not get to it last week.

4. Introduce our new IB unit of inquiry. It's a study on Matter, and will incorporate lots of hands on experiments. I love it!

Be sure to ask  your student about meeting a real secret service agent this morning. If you didn't already know, Mrs. Barnes' husband has been an agent for a long time and he gave us his morning and taught our students a little about the Secret Service. It was so fascinating, and the students learned so much!

Have a great week!
