Sing-Alongs...You are Invited!
Please join us on Tuesday, December 17, 2024 in the Jaguar Jungle for our annual TJS Sing-Alongs. If your child is in kindergarten, first, or second grade, the Sing-Along time will be from 9:15-9:45 AM. For anyone with a third, fourth, or fifth grader, the Sing-Along time will be from 10:00-10:30 AM. For anyone with children in both Sing-Alongs, please feel free to stay for both sessions. The Sing-Alongs are not performances. They are designed to be special times when we may all come together to sing holiday songs! We hope to see you there!
**Parents/guardians are encouraged to please check the LOST and FOUND items when you are in the building for the sing-alongs. The items often accumulate during the winter months.
Outdoor or Indoor Recess
Even during cold winter days, we will be going outside for recess throughout the school year. Indoor recess occurs only if the temperature (including the wind chill factor) and/or the playground area is unsafe because of the weather conditions. The wind forecast is also considered. Please make sure that your child is prepared to play in cold weather and remind them of the importance of knowing how to zip up their coats to stay warm. Labeling hats, gloves, scarves with your child's name is also helpful as our LOST and FOUND tends to grow during the winter months of school.
Library Media Classroom Update
In grades K, 1, 2 we have been enjoying holiday stories. The students in grades K-1 have been working on sharing the pen with the teacher to write about their reading through interactive writing. In grade 2, we have been working on comparing and contrasting stories written by the same author.
In grades 3, 4, and 5 we have also been having a great time reading holiday stories. Using these stories, we have been working hard to identify the theme and the lesson learned. We are starting to notice that many stories share common themes, such as compassion, perseverance, acceptance, and courage.
