❄️🎄🎁 Mrs. Wood's students had a great time wrapping up the semester today. There's no better way to celebrate the end of a great year than a pajama day!
Parents--don't forget that tomorrow is a half day for students.
Our third grade classes have been working on their research skills! Each class researched a country and wrapped up their research with a culture celebration. Students shared their research and got to try foods from all of the countries that were studied!
🐝 The 1st Annual TRE Spelling Bee took place today with 12 eager spellers from grades 3-5. The students all worked hard and showed off their excellent spelling skills.

We are so very proud of all of our contestants for earning a spot in the Spelling Bee!

Who loves lemonade? 🍋🍋🟩 Mrs. Jackson's first graders!
The class visited the library this week to read "Lemonade in Winter." They reviewed counting coins and then made their own lemonade hats to describe the process of making lemonade.
There are only ten days until winter break! Next week will be a spirit week at TRE. Help us get ready for winter break by participating in our fun dress up days!
Students in Mrs. Knepp's and Mrs. Byar's K-4 classes have been learning about push and pull. The class pushed Pom Pom balls across the table by blowing air through a straw to see push and pull in real life! After that, they pushed chairs and pulled a cart to see the concepts in action again.
This week, some of our fifth graders worked with Mrs. Rennhack and conducted a soda experiment. They observed the experiment and wrote home about what learned. Check out this awesome experiment!
We are starting the First Lego League at TRE! We are looking for 10 students in 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade to be part of our team. Students who want to apply to be part of the team can pick up an application starting this Friday, December 6.

Our students have been learning about Native American Heritage Month in the Media Center for November. This month, our first graders read "We Are Grateful: Otsaliheliga" and learned about Cherokee traditions for each season of the year. Then they created a craft to show what they are grateful for during each season.
Thank you to all of our K5 and 1st Grade parents, friends, and family members who came to support our students at the Thanksgiving Program yesterday. Our students were so excited to see you!
We would also like to thank Mrs. Linaman and the K5 and First Grade teachers for their hard work!
