May edition 2022
Talkeetna Elementary families,
Thank you to all the families and our PTA that helped us celebrate and recognize our teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week last week. The notes of gratitude and encouragement, and gifts of appreciation demonstrate the support of our community. I am continually inspired by our entire Timberwolf staff and their unwavering dedication to supporting and educating our students at high levels all year long. We have an incredible team.
We are in our final weeks of school and look forward to finishing strong! Please be sure to sign your child/ren up for the reading program at the Talkeetna Public Library, encourage your child/ren to read, listen to audiobooks, you read to them, and check out the resource in this newsletter strongreadersms.com for ideas on working with your children to keep their reading skills strong.
Enjoy the day,
Becky Moren, Principal

Second Grade Superstars
We have had a super busy and productive last quarter of school. As this year draws to a close I am feeling thankful for the opportunity to teach, learn, and grow with another group of children in our special community.
Please enjoy looking at the pictures to get a glimpse of some of the work that we have been doing this last month in Second Grade.
We will be making the most of our last couple of weeks here at school. I wish everyone a wonderful summer full of sunshine and adventure.
Have an amazing summer,
Mrs. Suzi

Fun in First
This year has flown by. I'm so proud of all of the growth that our first graders have made this year. It's been a fun journey and it's been a pleasure getting to know each of them!
Below are some of the recent highlights from our classroom. We'll continuing learning and enjoying each others company these last few weeks of school.
I hope everyone has a safe, fun, and adventure filled summer!
