September 14th- Weekly Blog

Hi Parents,

We are very excited to be putting out a weekly blog to keep you up to date on all the exciting stuff we
are doing at TMC! This blog will briefly discuss some of the weeks highlights and challenges, where we
are heading in the week to come, and any outstanding announcements.  

Math/Science

In science we have been looking at weather, specifically the impact human and human activity has on
weather patterns and changes. Students were asked to create a visual page, using pictures/diagrams
and key words, to demonstrate how human activity impacts weather and climate. We will continue this
work next week.

In math we have been looking at place value. I have challenged students to find real world “big numbers”
(populations, distances, etc.) online and put them into our personalized value charts. We have been
working with getting comfortable with Word, Standard and Expanded forms of numbers and will continue
this work next week.

Humanities

Students should have brought home their red journals today. Please take a few minutes this weekend to
go over the identity question and their answer with them. Sign the page and have them bring it back it
back on Monday.

This week we had great conversations about our identity and especially focused on our name. Next we
will start to look at where we are from.

Reminders

Tuesday September 18th is picture day.

Thursday September 20th will be a half day and no school Friday because of Parent Teacher Interviews.
