WESLEY D. TISDALE SCHOOL

Reading is better together! 📚 Kindergarten students at Tisdale are learning how to partner read and build their collaboration skills! 💛

The Tisdale preschoolers took advantage of the beautiful day and painted outside in the sunshine. Creating art in nature lets children explore colors, light, and movement all around them. Painting outdoors sparks creativity, builds focus and fine-motor skills, and fills their artwork with the joy of fresh air and discovery.

Tisdale teachers are hard at work digging into student data to ensure every child grows and succeeds! 📊✨ Together, we’re identifying strengths and planning next steps to make learning meaningful for all our students. 💙

Tisdale preschoolers explore retelling and sequencing their favorite stories with character stones. 🪨 This hands-on activity strengthens memory and comprehension, while building language, creativity, and confidence in storytelling. The stones provide a playful and concrete way to bring stories to life and help children make sense of how events fit together! 📖🩵

🌟At Tisdale, our school counselor, Ms. Collado, visited Tisdale classrooms to review the Mood Meter and introduce new vocabulary to help students describe their emotions. The Mood Meter, a tool from the RULER SEL program, supports students in building self and social awareness as they learn to recognize, understand, and express their feelings. 💡💙

🎶💙 Today at Tisdale, our community came together for an All School Sing to celebrate our character trait of the month: RESPECT! This year, we are thrilled to launch our new Character Education Initiative, designed to strengthen our school culture and highlight the positive qualities that help our students grow both academically and socially. 🌟 Built around eight powerful traits that spell out RAMS RISE, this initiative will guide and inspire our students all year long. 🐏💛

🌟 3L is always bursting with curiosity! Our Galaxy of Wonder board is a special space where students post their questions on sticky notes. During morning meeting, we journey through these wonders together—sparking discussion, imagination, and discovery! 🚀✨

Listening with our ears AND our imaginations!💡Third graders in Ms. Lee’s class listened to a classical piece with fun rhythmic changes while completing a listening glyph. This required students to color portions of a picture based on the musical changes they heard, such as fast, gentle, strong, and more! 🧠🎧🖍️

During math centers, students in 2B are playing "5 in a Row with Four Cards." ➕ This game helps them strengthen their addition fluency by adding two numbers and covering the sum. I'm so proud of these second graders for staying fully engaged and showing excellent communication and collaboration skills! 💙

Tisdale School Picture Day is tomorrow, Friday, September 26th! 📸

Starting the day with a hug or a high five at Tisdale! 🤗✋ Each morning, students in 3Lee are greeted with a choice — and a smile — at the classroom door. This simple routine sets a positive tone, helps students feel seen and valued, and builds a strong, caring classroom community from the very first moment of the school day. 💛💙

Third graders in Mrs. Clewley's class are exploring the foundations of multiplication. By arranging groups of 12 "chairs," drawing it on grid paper, and labeling the dimensions, they're learning the different factors to make the product 12, and discovering the commutative property. ✏️💛
