Library News Jan 2022

Posted on by

A generous volunteer who loves children and books has matched our Grow a Home Library book giveaway grant request!! We are very grateful to have the opportunity to offer twice as many inspirational titles to our Book Give Away event! Thank you!

Students have been reading Wishtree by Katherine Applegate. Wishtree has an important message: We should accept people even if they’re different and get to know them before we judge them.

“Wishtrees have a long and honorable history, going back centuries. There are many in Ireland, where they are usually hawthorns or the occasional ash tree. But you can find wish trees all over the world.It’s a tradition to wish on the first of May, but people can wish throughout the year.”

-Katherine Appplegate, Wishtree

Students have been hanging their wishes and dreams for 2022 from various trees of their choice; in forest classrooms and around the school yard.

 

Hour of Code

Posted on by
Computers are everywhere, changing every industry on the planet. If you’ve heard about the Hour of Code before, you might know it made history. More than 100 million students have tried an Hour of Code!
Students at TES will be logging in throughout January and February to create their own apps or games to share with friends and family. With interactive, hands-on activities, students will learn computational thinking skills in an approachable way, that’s very fun!
Try the Hour of Code yourself—everyone can benefit from learning the basics.
