Town Center Tidbits : Embracing Change. . .

As we reach our final month of the school year, I find myself reflecting every day even more on how truly special our TCE family is. . .with my new transition and with other changes occurring here at there with our TCE family, please keep those going through a transition or change in your thoughts as while we all know change is inevitable in life, it is hard. . .and what can bring us a bit of comfort and happiness is knowing, once a part of the TCE family. . .always a part of the TCE family!

Important Reminders

Field Day and Kick Off - Grade Level Songs
We are gearing up for another fun-filled field day in May. . .yes, trying to be a little ahead of the game, since I will be back and forth from Admin to TCE even more starting this month. Our theme this year is a pirate theme, so be thinking of a fun song (doesn't have to be pirate) to kick off our field day! Remember this is just a short little dance/song your kiddos can do to get pumped up about the day! Make sure and send me your song choice!

I have a few grade levels songs so far:

1st: Treasure by Bruno Mars

3rd: The Pirates That Don’t Do Anything by Relient K

5th: Spongebob Squarepants Theme Song

Grade Level and Team/Specials/Specialist Inventories

Please remember that we all need to be making sure that we are getting our inventories ready to be turned in for the end of the year. I had already talked with team leaders about this, but please make sure you are updating so we can make sure this is all good to go!

Cultural Plunges

"Create Your Own Recordings

with Screencast-O-Matic"

For sharing out our cultural plunges this year, we are going to move to trying an online sharing by using screencasts and then integrate a Twitter chat as well to discuss, collaborate, ask questions and share insight. This will also allow us to cancel our face to face meetings for TLC on Wed. April 18th and Wed. May 9th.

(see past blog post for more details!)

Final Spirit Rally - Last Day of School

TCE Lip Sync Battle

As we get ready for our final spirit rally of the year, and my final spirit rally as TCE principal. . .you know I can't leave without having one more Lip Sync Battle with our fun and fabulous staff! Please let me know your song choice as soon as you get one picked out!

Save the Date!
