WESLEY D. TISDALE SCHOOL

The Tisdale Book Fair theme reminded us that "Reading Takes You Everywhere"! 📚✈️ Students had a wonderful week exploring new books, celebrating our fun theme days, and discovering stories that can take them anywhere their imaginations lead. A huge thank you to our amazing Media Specialist, Mrs. Calabrese, the Tisdale PTO, and all of our volunteers for making this event possible and helping get great books into the hands of our young readers! 💙💛

Tisdale was proud to recognize our amazing social worker, Mrs. Lisa Moment, last week during National School Social Work Week! 💙✨ Mrs. Moment supports our students by helping them navigate feelings, build friendships, solve problems, and grow in confidence. Because of her care and guidance, Tisdale is a kinder, calmer, and happier place for everyone. Thank you, Mrs. Moment, for always being there for our Rams! 💛

​It’s the best day of the month at Tisdale... All School Sing day! 🎶💙 We came together as a school community to celebrate, sing, and recognize classmates who received awards. Our kindergarten students also helped teach everyone about the character trait of independence, sharing how making responsible choices and doing things on our own helps us grow. A wonderful time to learn and celebrate together! 💛

We had a very special Principal for the Day at Tisdale! 👩‍💼✨ Miss Jengo, a first grade student, stepped into the role and did an amazing job leading the day. Her duties included helping run the All School Sing, assisting in the classrooms, and so much more. We loved seeing her leadership, confidence, and school spirit in action. 💙💛

Tisdale students are building strong writing skills through multisensory phonics instruction! ✏️✨ During sentence dictation, students “pound” the syllables of a sentence before writing. This process helps them break sentences into manageable parts, strengthen their memory, and prepare them to write with accuracy. A powerful way to support confident writers! 💙💛

Tisdale students in 3Lee became cultural ambassadors after exploring countries they were curious about in ELA! 🌎✨ Students shared about their own cultures, highlighting connections to Argentina, Ireland, and more. Students brought meaningful items from home, including a soccer World Cup trophy, a family crest, and a harp necklace. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn from one another and celebrate the traditions that make our community so special! 💙💛

Tisdale students are strengthening their reading and writing skills using sand trays during phonics instruction! ✏️✨ This multisensory approach helps students practice letter formation and build stronger spelling skills by tracing letters in sand while saying the sounds. By engaging hands, eyes, and voices, students develop a deeper understanding and lasting learning. 💙💛

We were so excited to welcome the Tisdale Class of 2039 at Kindergarten Signing Day! ✍️💙 Our future Rams enjoyed building with Magna-Tiles and Legos, coloring, and connecting with new friends while families had the chance to meet our kindergarten teachers and other staff. A special thank you to our Rambassadors for helping make the day so welcoming! We can’t wait to see these smiling faces back in September! 💛🐏

Tisdale students are back from break and focusing on essential skills: cooperation, active listening, and clear communication. Students took ownership of their individual roles while also depending on one another, learning a practical lesson in teamwork and accountability! 💙💛

Snow may be outside, but the learning continues inside at Tisdale! ❄️💙 Our students are hard at work staying focused, engaged, and eager to learn despite the winter weather. We love seeing their dedication and positive attitudes shine no matter what the forecast brings! 💛📚

There’s nothing more special than welcoming parents into the Tisdale classrooms as guest readers! 📚💙 Sharing favorite picture books with their child’s class helps bring stories to life and strengthens the connection between home and school. These moments create lasting memories and inspire a love of reading for all! 💛✨

❤️ Little hands, big hearts! Kindergarteners at Tisdale made Valentine's cards to thank our veterans for their service🇺🇸💌

Heart-healthy learning in action at Tisdale PE! ❤️🏃 Throughout the week, students explored the circulatory system through movement activities. First graders became “red blood cells,” delivering oxygen throughout the body, while second and third graders learned about heart rate, how to check it, and the parts of blood. A fun, active way to connect fitness and science!

Tisdale first graders are starting music class on a high note! 🎶💙 Mrs. Campbell begins each of her classes with the Positivity Song to set the tone for joyful learning, encouragement, and confidence. We love seeing students begin music with smiles and positive energy! 💛

Hip hip hooray for the 100th Day! 🎉First graders at Tisdale shared their 100 collections to celebrate the 100th day of school! 💛💙
