Bake Sale, Ugandan Musicians, and Trout in the Classroom

The TISA 3rd grade has been busy lately. Thanks to the generous contributions of our class families, and the hard work of the students in our in-school cookie-baking project, we raised a ton of money at our Bake Sale to help fund fun field trips.  Our school was very fortunate to receive a visit from a group of Ugandan musicians and dancers. Our whole school enjoyed the beautiful music, rhythmic movement, and daring acrobatics. We all hope they visit us again some day! The moment has finally arrived. Trout in the Classroom! We have received our fish, thanks to the Trout Unlimited organization. In particular, we have Mr. Marc Space to thank for his generous support of this amazing opportunity for our students to participate in real Life Science learning. 

Fact Flowers, Student of the Month, and Yoga at TISA

 The Third Grade has been working on a colorful integrated art project for math. If you are visiting our school, stop by the Elementary hallway to see our lovely Fact Flowers! The students took a number, such as 8, and came up with as many addition and subtraction problems as they could that equal 8.  TISA was proud to honor two Students of the Month. These students stood out at the beginning of the year for showing the TISA values of Thoughtfulness, Integrity, Safety, and Artistry.  The Third Grade students have been doing an excellent job of leading their class through activities. Here is one student coming up to show us how to use the Number Grid.  The students have enjoyed doing Yoga with Ms. Reema. Yoga is a fantastic physical education activity that gets them moving, stretching, and balancing.
