Update 5/13/22
Dear Families and Friends of TRMS,
We collected $204.75 to help African Penguins! This amount will be able to provide food for about 30 penguins. Thank you so much for your donations. We will be donating it to the Mystic Aquarium.
SBAC continued this week. Again, we are just so proud of our students who have really demonstrated perseverance and applied skills to this assessments.
Teachers participated in Professional Development from Teachers College in Vocabulary, Read Alouds, and connecting Reading Comprehension to Social Studies. It was a valuable time for teachers to plan, create lesson ideas and collaborate.
Magnet experiences in school and out on field continued with Grade 1 going on a Field Trip to explore the shore and Grade 2 and 3 had hands-on lessons with Project O working towards their end of year Action Project.
A couple of quick reminders:
- From the NURSE-- If you child has medication at the school, please plan to be picked up on or before the last day of school June 21.
- Sunscreen and insect repellent are encouraged for field trips and Field Day. Please have your child apply it before coming to school. Teachers cannot apply..
Have a terrific weekend!
Jamie Giordano
