November Soar Student

Congratulations to Chloe for being our November SOAR student. Chloe always does such a great job sharing information doing our group meetings, and is a good citizen too. That's what we love to see in class. Keep up the good job!

Too cute!

Today I overheard a cute conversation between Chloe and Keagan that I just had to share. Keagan said he was so glad we were having a Thanksgiving meal for lunch, and that he thinks we have the best school and the best teachers at TCE. Chloe agreed, and said "Yeah, we have great food because we have good cooks and we have great teachers". Keagan said "I think we have the best students because we do our work and listen to our teachers when they tell us what to do on our work and tell us how to do it". And on and on they went talking about the assets of our school like little adults. It was soooo cute! I wish I could have recorded the conversation. One of those priceless moments teacher's get to enjoy at school!

National Children's Book Week

We love reading at TCE. It has been a lot of fun today seeing all of the different costumes for students' favorite book characters. Here are some from our class. Do you know who they are? Grab a good book tonight to read with your child for some quality time together.

Premiere Party

On Wednesday, November 10, we had a special Premiere Party, to celebrate all of the winners from the International Media Festival from last school year. Dr. Rodriguez gave every class popcorn and drinks to enjoy while watching the winning projects. The students really enjoyed this special treat, and we are so proud of all of the winners from TCE! Please encourage your child to think of a special project that they can enter into the media festival for this school year, so that they can be our next TCE media festival winner.

Walking for our Health!

Our class decided to walk 100 laps during recess this year to help us stay healthy and fit. We have been talking about keeping our bodies healthy and eating healthy foods in health this year, and our class decided this would be a good way to stay fit. We have already walked 11 laps together so far (some students have chosen to run), and we record our laps on a 100's chart each day that we walk. We will celebrate with a variety of healthy snacks when we reach our goal. Yummy, everybody is looking forward to earning our healthy snacks. Join us at home too by deciding on a way to stay fit together by exercising,riding bikes, walking around your neighborhood, etc. Have a marvelous Monday!

October S.O.A.R. student

Congratulations to our October S.O.A.R student, Adediwura!
You are also doing an awesome job with reading sight words. You read 65 words in 1 minute on your last fluency assessment. WOW! Very impressive! Keep working hard!

Election Day!

To all of our parents we wanted to remind you that today is Election Day, so please don't forget to vote! Today we learned a few facts about voting, and held our own mock election for class president. Each student had a chance to cast a secret vote, and then we counted the votes to see who had the majority. Congratulations to Jada our new class president. We also read a book called "Yes You Can" about our current president, Barack Obama. Adediwura said "The reason we're reading this book is so that we can get information about our president". Nice going Adediwura reminding us about one of our reading standards! Everyone received an "I Voted" sticker after casting their vote. Parents, if you go to vote today please share with your child some information about the process and show them your sticker too!
