Global Studies Update
For Global Studies, we had a wonderful time celebrating Chinese New Year and learning about traditional Chinese desserts. Students learned a popular Chinese New Year song and how to say “xin nian kuai le” (happy new year) and “gong xi gong xi” (congratulations!), which are common greetings during Chinese New Year. They also learned the history of different types of traditional Chinese desserts, and watched street artists perform sugar art such as sugar painting and blowing candy. Finally they tasted Haw Candy Flakes, a snack that is made of a Chinese fruit – the haws.
Some students loved it so much that they wanted to know where they could get it. So here is the information. You can find it in Asia Mart located at 6103 E 86th St, Indianapolis, IN 46250 (Castleton Mall area).
Next week students will start Global Studies in Spanish and I am super excited for them for the new language learning experience! Once again I am so grateful to have the opportunity to teach your child Chinese in the last 3 months. I hope they will continue their love in learning different languages and the world around them.

Snacks in First Grade
TCE teachers understand the importance of fueling both our students’ minds and bodies; therefore, first grade students may bring in snacks to be eaten mid-afternoon. However, due to allergy concerns, the following procedures must be followed:
· Snacks will NEVER be shared by other students.
· Snacks need to be brought to school with the child. If snacks are forgotten at home, parents should not bring the snack to school. If your child forgets their snack, a school-approved snack will be offered to your child.
Snack List:
- Goldfish crackers
- Cheese
- SkinnyPop Popcorn
- Fresh fruit
- Dried fruit
- Veggies – NO DIPS
Volunteers & Lunch Guests
This year all volunteers must have a current background check on file AND watch the anti-bullying webinar before volunteering at school. If your current background check has expired (background checks remain good for 3 years) or you are new to the district, you will need to click on the link below:

You can access the anti-bullying training simply by watching a video also on the link. Make sure to do the online survey at the end to verify you watched the video. As always, call the TCE office with any questions. Thanks!
*Please note that the background check and anti-bullying training is required in order to eat lunch with your child. Lunch guests are welcome after Labor Day . Please call the front office by 9:30 am on the day you’d like to eat with your child to reserve a spot.
