The TCES Spanish Club learned about the country of Equatorial Guinea. The students learned about their foods, animals, landmarks, government, and flag. Finally, we got to make a giraffe, which is Equatorial Guinea’s national animal. The giraffes were so cute and tasty too!

1st Grade has had a fun dress up week in honor of Dr. Suess!! 🐱 🎩 ❤️

Second grade has thoroughly enjoyed Read Across America Week! Thank you so much to all of the special readers that came to visit each of our classrooms.

Over the past few weeks, Mrs. Bateman's homeroom students have had the incredible opportunity to learn from real professionals and volunteers in our community. Through career visits and meaningful conversations, they discovered how passions, skills, and hard work can shape the future. These experiences are helping inspire the career research projects they will soon turn into their very own published class book. We are so thankful for the community members who took the time to invest in our students and help them dream big about what they can become. 📚✨ Thank you to Mrs. Malory Kicklighter with Pembroke Pharmacy and Boutique, Mr. Josh Thigpen with AEMC, Mrs. Keeley Wilkes with MadDash Cookie Co, Mrs. Ashley Martin & Mrs. Mandy Johnson with Imago Dei Missions, Mrs. Danielle Saffold (Army Veteran), Mr. Mitch Bellflower with Lyons First Baptist Church, and Dr. Merrick Kilgore with Kilgore Animal Hospital.

Dr. Seuss week fun in 4th grade!
