A Note from Anna

With a short week to wrap up September, we are in awe with how quickly the weeks have flown by. We are well past getting to know each other—in fact, we have successfully created an environment where students are learning from one another and productive voices are shared throughout the day. As Geoff and I reflect on our last many months planning and ideating together, we are so grateful for your support and the joy your children bring into our space every day. We hope, as you read ahead, you will see evidence of your children’s brains hard at work as well as their curiosity, agency, compassion, and courage blossoming as they fully immerse themselves in the TCS experience.

As always, please reach out if you have any questions. We are always here for you and your child.

Ask Your TCS Learner

  • What are you curious about in World Knowledge right now?

    • What non-fiction book about Austin have you read?

    • What is one fact you learned from your non-fiction books?

    • What did you wonder after you read your non-fiction books?

  • In an equation, what does an equal sign tell us?

    (hint: the values on both sides of the equal sign are the same)

  • What other math symbols do mathematicians use?

    (hint: + for joining or adding and - for separating or subtracting)

  • How do you tap out the word, mat?

    (hint: see image below)

  • Tell me about the critter you designed and built out of craft supplies.

  • How did you design a tower out of cups and Legos to withstand heavy winds?

  • What materials did you use to help your Lego figure handle heavy rains?

  • Can you teach me a pull turn (soccer move)?

  • Why is it kinder to put your thumb on your chest when you share ideas on the rug?
