WESLEY D. TISDALE SCHOOL

Scientists in Mrs Klaus' first grade class are learning how to use scientist tools to help them observe the world around them. Our students are getting ready to explore an exciting unit exploring sound and light! 🔊🔦

✏️✨ Writers at work in second grade! Our young authors in Mrs. Bernal's class are taking their writing to the next level by adding sensory details, thoughts, feelings, and dialogue to bring their stories to life. We’re learning that the little details make our writing more descriptive, engaging, and fun to read! 📚💭📝

The Tisdale Not So Creepy Color Run was a HUGE success! 🌈💙💛 Our students and families ran, laughed, danced, and got covered in a rainbow of bright colors while celebrating school spirit and community. With colorful powder flying, volunteers cheering, and music keeping everyone moving, it was a day to remember! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our Tisdale community, we raised OVER $20,000! 🎉 A HUGE thank you to our amazing Tisdale PTO, volunteers, families, and everyone who made this event so special. Your support makes a difference for our Rams! 🐏

First graders are scientists! Tisdale students had fun exploring the different science tools they will be using this year! 🔍🔬

Thank you to the Ramsey Fire Department for coming in and teaching Tisdale students about being a firefighter and about fire safety. 🚒We’re grateful for our local heroes who take the time to educate, inspire, and help keep our community safe! 🧯

Science is like being a detective who explores the world with wonder and curiosity! KNagy scientists are learning about energy and sunlight as they look closely, observe, and investigate. Students made and recorded observations of different surfaces! ☀️☁️🔎💡

Typing like pros, one key at a time! 💻 Second and third graders at Tisdale are building their keyboarding skills using unplugged paper keyboards to practice proper hand placement, finger correspondence, and posture. These foundational skills are helping our young learners develop accuracy, confidence, and good habits that will support them for years to come. ⌨️💛

Kindergarten students in Mrs. Nagy’s class are practicing letter formation, letter recognition, letter sounds, and red words through hands-on approaches! Arm tapping red words, sand trays, and Play-Doh are just a few of the kinesthetic activities that make learning so much fun! 💥🖐️

Tisdale kindergarteners are practicing labeling! Our little learners labeled parts of the classroom, posters, and even each other using Post-it notes, sounding out words and working with partners to bring their writing to life. We’re learning that we can stretch out words and listen for sounds to help us become independent writers! ✏️💛

Pumpkins, golf tees, and lots of little hands at work! 🎃🔨 The preschoolers in Miss Sullivan's class explored, experimented, and discovered what happens when they tap golf tees into pumpkins. A simple invitation that encouraged curiosity, creativity, problem-solving, and plenty of fine motor practice!

At Tisdale, kindness isn’t just for the Week of Respect; we practice it every day! From playing nicely on the playground to helping a friend on the swings, our little learners show that small acts of kindness make a big difference. 🛝💙

Our Tisdale kindergarteners are getting creative with letters! 🔤💙💛 Students are using loose parts to build the letters they’ve learned so far, making learning hands-on, meaningful, and fun. When students have the freedom to choose their materials, creativity takes center stage! ✨

​ Kindness Quest has arrived at Tisdale!  As part of Week of Respect, our students embarked on an interactive laser adventure filled with music and plenty of WOW moments! Through the adventure, students explored the power of kindness, empathy, compassion, friendship, and community, which are all important pieces of building a school where everyone feels respected and valued. A huge thank you to our friends at Prismatic Magic for helping us make kindness come to life in such a memorable way!
