Terrapin Tidbits
SY20 TCES Family Issue #2: 9.9.19
Our school halls and classrooms are happy again! Our staff and students have had an amazing first five days together. This school year truly is going to be the best year ever.
If you're looking for some new ways to talk to your child about the first week of school, consider one of these conversation starters:
- Tell me something you know today that you didn't know yesterday.
- If you could change one thing about today, what would it be?
- What was the hardest rule to follow today? the easiest?
- Did your teacher read a story to you today? What do you remember about it?
- What made you smile today?
Our students have the very best smiles!
Warmly,
Lindsay Brenfleck
