Dojo Dorm by Kennedy & Casey
This year, TRE is using Dojo points to keep up with student behavior. Kids with lots of positive Dojo points get to visit the Dojo Dorm, a room full of fun toys and games. Every class in TRE has visited the Dojo Dorm thanks to Mrs. Huffschmidt and Mrs. Flowers. Mrs. Huffschmidt told us, "Mrs.Konken's class was the first fifth grade class with the highest amount of points." We decided to ask Mrs. Konken more about her awesome class to find out how many points they have right now. She said, "Right now well we had to reset our Dojo points, but one day last week I saw that we were really close to one thousand points!" We wondered how kids are getting positive points. According to Mrs. Welch, "Most kids get a lot of points from turning in homework and hallway." Finally, we asked Mrs. Flowers what else she wanted parents to know. She replied, "I just want parents to know that you can stay connected to your kids on Dojo no matter what."

Upcycle by Ms. Katie
TRE is in the process of creating a butterfly garden in our courtyard. The students and the teachers are very excited. It will be beautiful as well as educational! We are hoping to attract the endangered Monarch butterfly as well as many others. We would like to use upcycled items to beautify the garden and make it more interesting! If you have gently used items (listed) that you would be willing to donate, please contact Katie Hutchinson (clinic aide). We will upcycle the donations and make them new and fun!
Mrs. Jones and her TAG classes actually had the opportunity to watch 2 Monarch caterpillars make a chrysalis, emerge, and be released over the last few weeks! Luckily, 2 precious Monarch caterpillars stowed away on a milkweed order we had delivered. It was a very exciting experience for the kids. We wish Garfield & Arlene safe travels on their journey to Mexico!
