We would like to especially thank Greg and Liz Thompson for getting the pots and plants, delivering them to the school and for their donation of the soil for planting. Muchas gracias!!

 

As warmer weather arrives, we wanted to remind you of a few dress code policies.  Boys need to have their uniform shirts tucked in all day.  If their shorts/pants have belt loops, a belt should be worn.  Chapel day shirts are to be white, yellow, or royal blue.  On Fridays, girls need to wear shorts and skirts of an appropriate length (fingertip-length is a good rule).  Also, girls may only wear spaghetti strap shirts with an overshirt.  The overshirt must be worn all day.  Sleeveless shirts are acceptable. We do have PE on Friday, so if your child wears sandals, she needs tennis shoes to change into for PE.

Welcome Spring Break!!!!

        Friday was great fun with the Easter Egg Games, a picnic lunch (inside), and then Jump Rope for Heart!  The early tally on money raised by TSA elementary students is over $5000.  Thank you parents and students!!

        Just a reminder . . . We do not come back to school until TUESDAY, April 6.  We earned an extra day after Spring Break because we reached our goal on the magazine sale held back in the fall.

        When we return, because it is a 4 day week, we will not have a reading story, spelling list, or spelling test.  We will spend the week writing a persuasive essay.  The topic is one about which the students will be passionate!

         Pictures will soon be uploaded from the Easter Egg Games and Jump Rope for Heart.
         Our next field trip will be on April 20, 2010 to Carlyle Place.  We will deliver plants in student-decorated pots as well as play games with the residents. It should be a fun day!

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day!

Students are allowed to wear green shirts that are not the standard Tattnall uniform shirts.  We want to keep distractions to a minimum during testing but just allowing green shirts should not cause any problems. Uniform on the bottom (pants, skirts, shorts, etc) is still expected.

Peek at the Week 

March 15-19

~ ITBS begins Monday. Each child needs at least three sharpened #2 pencils. Ask your child about this because we sharpened new pencils Friday and some of your children already have enough. Please help your child to be ready for testing by getting a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast.

~ We will not have new spelling words or a reading story next week.  

~ Remember to sign and return the Jump Rope for Heart permission slip. This needs to be returned even if your child does not plan to raise money. We want everyone to be able to have an afternoon of fun on Friday, March 26th.

~ Your child received a copy of the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We read the first 2 chapters in class. There is a letter in the Friday Folder about this book that must be signed and returned.

~ Remember next Friday night is Tattnall's 40th Year Celebration. This will be a fun evening and we hope to see you all there.

~ Spring Break is quickly approaching!  This year, it will be March 27 - April 5.  That includes the Monday after Easter, which is our Magazine Sale Holiday.

THANK YOU!

      The delicious lunch provided by the 4th Grade Parents was greatly appreciated.  We have received compliment after compliment! Thank you, from us, for being so quick to treat the teachers at TSA~we are grateful!
