Week of September 3rd

Another great week at Thomas Jefferson!  The students are engaging in writing that includes choice of topic and our teachers are teaching to the needs of our students.  It is amazing to see Writer's notebooks in classrooms that our students are living "writerly" lives in.  Please be sure to ask your Star about what they are writing about in class.

Writer's Notebooks in Action

The Star Student Store opened this week and our Stars were able to shop!  If your Star did not visit the store this week this week they will next week!  If you are at the dollar bins at Target or the Dollar Tree some treasures that our students would love and if you are able to donate to the store it would be greatly appreciated.

                                       

I hope you have a wonderful three day weekend and we look forward to seeing you at school and at What's for Dinner at Jack's Urban Eats on Tuesday!
