Global Goals Project Work - Today we worked with our fourth grade buddies to share ideas to make changes here at TCE. I can't wait to see what they decide on!
Global Studies Update & Chinese Snack Tasting Information
During the week of February 11, 2019, students will be tasting a Chinese snack during their Global Studies class. Please see picture below for the nutrition information.

Collaboration, cooperation, problem-solving, and critical thinking are only a few of the skills we used on Global School Play Day! We had a BLAST and didn't use any technology!
