WESLEY D. TISDALE SCHOOL

Hip hip hooray for the 100th Day! 🎉First graders at Tisdale shared their 100 collections to celebrate the 100th day of school! 💛💙

Tisdale kindergarteners are 100 days smarter, 100 days kinder, and 100 days stronger! 💯 Our kindergarteners dressed as 100-year-olds today to celebrate 100 days of school. Here’s to 100 days of learning, laughter, and lots of growth. They're just getting started! 💛📚✨

Kindergarten champs on a roll! 🎲➕ Rolling the dice, adding it up, and counting our way through a Super Bowl–themed math adventure.

Thank you Tisdale preschool grandparents, parents, and siblings who joined us in January to share a favorite book with our preschool class. We are grateful for the time, joy, and smiles you brought into our classroom. Your visits were lovely, meaningful and helped foster a love of stories and togetherness around books! 💙💛

It was the best day of the month at Tisdale, All School Sing day! 🎶💙 This month’s character trait was responsibility, and our first graders brought the lesson to life with skits built around the question: “What would Rowdy do?” 🐏✨ Their performances showed how making responsible choices helps solve everyday school challenges. A fun and meaningful way to learn and grow together! 💛

​This week, we proudly celebrated National School Counseling Week by honoring our amazing school counselor, Ms. Collado, at our All School Sing! 💙✨ She plays a vital role in supporting students’ academic, social, and emotional growth at Tisdale School. Ms. Collado helps every Tisdale student thrive and we are so grateful for all she does! 💛

Honored to be recognized by Tisdale for School Counselor Week. Supporting our students is truly the best part of my job. Go Rams 💛💙

🌍🧸 Celebrating Global Hour of Play at Tisdale! Our kindergarten friends learned, laughed, and grew through play! 💙💛

Tisdale proudly participated in Global School Play Day, our fifth year joining schools around the world in celebrating the power of unstructured, child-chosen play! 🧩 Through play, students strengthened their communication, collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving skills while enjoying time to imagine, build, and socialize with friends. Research reminds us that unstructured play is essential for child development. 💙💛

Hands-on math in action! Tisdale third grade students used straws and connectors to build triangles and quadrilaterals, exploring polygons and their attributes in a concrete, engaging way. By creating shapes themselves, they deepened their understanding of sides, vertices, and what makes each polygon unique. Learning by building and discovering! 💙💛

Snow Painting! Tisdale preschoolers explored color, color mixing, texture, and pressure as they experimented and watched the paint move and change on the snow. A simple, calming sensory experience that invites curiosity and creativity. ❄️🤍

Some Tisdale students loved sharing handmade cards with our crossing guard, Mr. Frank, to say thank you for all he does! 💙 We are so grateful for the care, dedication, and commitment he shows each day to keep our students safe as they arrive and depart from Tisdale. A small gesture of appreciation for someone who makes a big difference! 💛✨

Tisdale students enjoyed an exciting robot assembly where they learned that robots are machines with moving parts! 🤖✨ They also discovered the three key components every robot needs: sensors to gather information, a computer to think and make decisions, and an actuator to move. A fun and engaging way to spark curiosity and learning in STEAM! 💙💛

Even when the weather is cold outside, the fun doesn’t stop at Tisdale! ❄️💙 Indoor recess is filled with games, laughter, and time to connect with friends. Fun can happen anywhere, as students are staying warm and making the most of every moment together! 💛✨

So proud of these two first graders who earned January Acts of Service Star Awards after completing 10 Acts of service from a choice board! 💙✨ Their kindness and commitment to helping others perfectly reflect this month’s character trait of service. Way to lead by example and spread sunshine at Tisdale! 💛🐏

Morning Meeting is the perfect time to build a positive classroom community and strengthen student relationships! 💙✨ Tisdale third graders in Ms. Lee's class worked in groups to solve a mystery, relying on their math and critical thinking skills while collaborating and cheering one another on. It was a fun and meaningful way to start the school day, as well as learn and grow together! 💛

Tisdale third graders are immersing themselves in their culture unit! They are building their skills in researching, note taking, synthesizing, and thinking critically about information. 📖💙

Teachers are learners too! Colleagues debrief on their morning's professional learning sessions and discuss application in our classrooms.

Staff is spending the day learning from and with colleagues. This includes a presentation on OG strategies in K-3 led by our district Reading Specialists.
