Hi TAG families,

 

I have been given the opportunity through PC-TAG grants to attend a master class all next week to become a facilitator for the World Peace Game.  This is an exciting moment because I have been interested in this curriculum for our explorations classes since I first heard about it 3 years ago at a TAGT conference.  I am leaving detailed plans with Ms. Ruthann Funderburk so your children will be right on track with plans while I am gone.  Please feel free to read more about this exciting opportunity at https://worldpeacegame.org/.  Also, thank you for supporting PC-TAG which makes these learning opportunities possible.

Please enjoy the 3rd season of Enigma News.  The 4th grade explorations class researched enigmas, wrote an original script, and filmed this newscast.

Hi everyone,

 

This coming Wildcard Wednesday lunch (2/19) is designed by our third grade TAG Explorations class.  We met with our HPISD food services coordinator, Lynn Pritchard, and worked with Farmer Kim in the garden to supply Ms. Tonia with ingredients and the recipes for a very special meal.  We hope you will consider eating at school on Wednesday to enjoy this amazing meal especially designed to be part of a heart healthy diet!   

What a nice surprise during testing week to discover it was my half birthday!  I can't believe I got a little gift from the TAG families!  You all are so thoughtful.  Thank you for making me feel so appreciated each and every day.  

Hi parents, 

There will be no TAG classes next week due to 2-4^th grade TAG testing.  Students will be busily working with their homeroom classes, and we will pick right up where we left off when I see them again the following week.

Thank you!

Does anyone have a connection to get cheap/free screen printing done for the 3rd grade TAG Explorations class.  We would like to design sweatbands to sell to raise money for the American Heart Association.  We would like 100% of the proceeds to go toward our fundraising so any leads for great connections for printing would be very helpful!  Please email me for any leads or tips!  Thank you!  [email protected]
