October Curriculum Connections
Check out the linked Curriculum Connections below to see what our Timberwolves will be working on in each subject area during the month of October! We want to share the learning topics at all of the grade levels so that you are familiar with what topics and content are taught this month! Your child's teacher is always happy to provide more details should you have questions!

Building Relationships
Thursdays at Tiffany Ridge are “Relationship Building Thursday” each week. During morning meetings students learn important aspects of how and why to build healthy, supportive relationships with friends and classmates. Some of the October topics have focused on how the decisions we make impact others. For example, if I don’t work with the group I am assigned to in my class, it not only affects me, but also the people in my group. How do I feel when others don’t work with me? Allowing students time to think about their choices can help them make better choices and build stronger relationships.
Pumpkin Character Challenge!
CONGRATULATIONS to Evan Bitzer, our Grand Prize Winner!
ONLINE Book Fair
The dates for the book fair to shop in person will be October 28th-November 10th.
In person during library visits by our students will occur during weekly library lesson on 10/29-11/8 and during parent teacher conferences!

Park Hill Clothing Center
The Park Hill Clothing Center would like to thank all of the families who have contributed to our facility. For anyone not familiar with the clothing center there is more information here: https://www.parkhill.k12.mo.us/families/pta-clothing-center
If anyone needs to “shop” (the clothes are free) please sign up for a time slot here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508084fa4a72ba0fa7-ptapark
Volunteers are greatly needed! We have been fortunate to have received numerous donations, however we’ve had a difficult time hanging up all of the incoming clothes. There are two sign up genius links for volunteers: There is one sign up genius for the 2-4 pm timeslot every Tuesday that doesn't have shoppers present. That sign up is here and students are welcome to help out https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508084fa4a72ba0fa7-canyou
Then there is a second sign up for the Tuesday 10-12pm and 5-7pm slots when shoppers will be there. When shoppers are present we can't have students helping due to confidentiality. That sign up is here: https://www.signupgenius.com/.../508084fa4a72ba0fa7...
We appreciate all of your help!!
