WESLEY D. TISDALE SCHOOL

So proud of these two first graders who earned January Acts of Service Star Awards after completing 10 Acts of service from a choice board! 💙✨ Their kindness and commitment to helping others perfectly reflect this month’s character trait of service. Way to lead by example and spread sunshine at Tisdale! 💛🐏

Morning Meeting is the perfect time to build a positive classroom community and strengthen student relationships! 💙✨ Tisdale third graders in Ms. Lee's class worked in groups to solve a mystery, relying on their math and critical thinking skills while collaborating and cheering one another on. It was a fun and meaningful way to start the school day, as well as learn and grow together! 💛

Tisdale third graders are immersing themselves in their culture unit! They are building their skills in researching, note taking, synthesizing, and thinking critically about information. 📖💙

Teachers are learners too! Colleagues debrief on their morning's professional learning sessions and discuss application in our classrooms.

Staff is spending the day learning from and with colleagues. This includes a presentation on OG strategies in K-3 led by our district Reading Specialists.

Ramsey School District honors the life and enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

In our classrooms and hallways, we strive to live out his vision by fostering an environment of belonging, mutual respect, and character.

"The time is always right to do what is right." — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

We loved welcoming Dater students to Tisdale during lunch to connect with our third graders and talk about healthy friendships! 💙✨ Through open conversations, students learned what it means to be a good friend, communicate kindly, and support one another. A meaningful opportunity for learning, connection, and community! 💛

On Silly Sock Day, Tisdale Preschoolers talk about color, shape, and patterns. We explore ideas like symmetry and what it means for things to be similar or the same. We make observations, work together as a team, problem solve, and practice cooperation through playful, shared experiences.

Tisdale third graders put their problem-solving skills to work by collaborating in teams to code a robot named Colby through a maze they designed themselves! 🤖🧩 The creativity, teamwork, and perseverance on display highlighted the unique strengths and talents each student brought to the challenge. What an amazing example of learning through collaboration! 💙💛

Celebrating a birthday by sharing your talent! We love our birthday choice in 3Cr!

Tisdale kindergarten students are building strong reading and writing foundations through dictation as part of their OG lesson! ✏️📖 By listening carefully, stretching sounds, and writing what they hear, students are strengthening their phonics skills and growing as confident early readers and writers. 💙💛

Back from winter break and continuing to learn how to self-regulate 🐻❄️ Kindergarteners in Ms. Pontone's class practice Bear Breaths to calm their bodies and focus their minds!

It’s the best day of the month at Tisdale because it’s All School Sing day! 🎶💙 Our students focused on the character trait of service, making a perfect connection to Tisdale’s Sunshine Club service project. ☀️ Students learned how small acts of kindness can make a big difference as we work together to bring “sunshine” to members of our community in need. A meaningful way to sing, reflect, and grow as caring citizens! 💛✨

Loose parts invite open-ended, meaningful play. As Tisdale preschoolers create snowflakes with a variety of materials, they make choices, problem-solve, and explore balance and symmetry. With no single “right” outcome, children build creativity, confidence, fine-motor skills, and spatial awareness while expressing their own ideas. ❄️🤍

​Tisdale preschool and kindergarten students gathered for a community meeting! This is an opportunity for each grade to come together once per trimester to develop essential life skills. At this meeting, students learned how to notice glimmers or positive moments throughout their day. Community Meetings help reinforce the values we emphasize every day at Tisdale and support students in becoming kind, respectful, and thoughtful members of our community. 💙💛

Little learners, big progress in KP! Decodable partner reading helps our kinders grow more confident every day! 📚✨

What better way to start the new year than with an Hour of Play! 🎉 Our students had time to reconnect with classmates and ease back into school after winter break through play, laughter, and collaboration. A joyful start to 2026 at Tisdale! 💙💛
