Last week the Terriers wrapped up the "Gobble Up Good Books" reading challenge in Beanstack. Classrooms competed to see who could read the most books aloud as a class and the top three classes received donuts from Krispy Kreme. The Terriers read over 360 books together in total during the month of November! Congratulations to our top three classes:
1st Place - Mrs. Cassidy with 68 books/chapters
2nd Place - Mrs. Hinch with 57 books/chapters
3rd Place - Mrs. Thompson with 36 books
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!

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!

It's #NationalSTEMDay and we are so excited to celebrate the amazing lessons that are going on in Mrs. Salway's classes. Here's a sneak peek into her STEM classroom...
In this lesson, fifth grade students explore how incredibly salty the ocean is, even though we can't see the salt! In the activity, Tiny Ocean, students create a model ocean to observe how salt seems to completely vanish when dissolved in water.
Students then measure and graph quantities of the water and salt to provide evidence that, even though we can’t see it, the salt still weighs the same amount. Students also create a model salt flat, allowing the water to evaporate, leaving the salt behind.
Tomorrow is Make-Up Picture Day for any student that missed the original date. Please come dressed in your best and ready to smile!
We can't wrap up #NationalPrincipalsMonth without giving a shoutout to Mr. Daugherty!
Mr. Daugherty is caring, compassionate, and is always looking for new ways to make our school even better. He greets our students and staff each morning with a smile and is always making us laugh. TRE is so lucky to have him!
Thank you for all that you do Mr. Daugherty!
