Terrapin Tidbits
SY20 TCES Family Issue #33
May 18, 2020
Greetings Terrapin Families!
Back in September, I encouraged you to talk with your student(s) about our Schoolwide Expectations Matrix. As we enter a new week of continuous learning opportunities, consider revisiting the expectations, and discussing the following prompts:
- Which three expectations are the same at home as they are at school?
- Which three expectations are different at home than they are at school?
- What does my learning space look and sound like when I'm "Ready to Learn" at home?
Keep smiling,
Lindsay Brenfleck
