TES students have been working very hard in their library classes. In every library class, students choose “Just Right” library books, complete library assignments, independently navigate the library to find books and resources, and responsibly handle library books and materials. Most importantly, students create a fun library experience for all by being safe, kind, and responsible.

After each library class, our Library “Smile Chart” records how the class did for the day. After 10 stickers, the class earns a special treat! All the classes, K-6th, have been working hard and those classes who have reached their goal will have a special treat of watching the award winning animation short, The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Lessmore.  The film was based on the book by the same title written by William Joyce.  The film was awarded the Best Animated Short Film at the 84th Academy Awards. Congratulations to all the classes for working so hard!

TES received 10 large maps free from Linking Lands Alliance (LLA). Students in grades K-6 have been reading books about maps and creating their own maps.

In 3rd/4th grades we have been partner programming at code.org to create Interactive Maps. Students are using the research from their US National Parks Project to create a state maps with Points of Interests, including information about their individually chosen US National Park.
