Tolbert Elementary students had a great time in Coach McConnell’s PE class playing a fun "Cross Country" game!
Students worked in teams as they rolled a ball and earned points by getting it into a hoop, landing it on a frisbee, or knocking over a bowling pin. The activity kept everyone moving, competing, and cheering on their teammates as they worked to earn the most points.

Tolbert Elementary Pre-K students in Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Stanley’s class had a great time practicing letters and talking about words that begin with those letters.
These early literacy activities help students build important foundations for reading, writing, and communication. As students recognize letters, connect sounds, and share words, they are developing skills that will support their learning for years to come.

Tolbert Elementary kindergarten students were learning phonics with Mrs. Moon together yesterday!
Students practiced important early literacy skills as they worked with sounds, letters, and words in an engaging way. They broke down words and clapped to the sounds of syllables. Lessons like this help our youngest learners build confidence as they grow as readers and develop the foundation they need for future success.

Tolbert Elementary 3rd grade students in Ms. Crump’s class were building important math skills as they worked on rounding and understanding number lines.
Students practiced using number lines to see how numbers are connected and how they can determine which number a value is closest to when rounding. These strategies help students strengthen number sense and build confidence as mathematicians.
It was a great day of learning and problem-solving at TES!

The communications portion is completely optional and is not required in order to submit your calendar selection.
The survey closes September 1. Please submit your response using this link: https://forms.gle/wM3v9A7N4SfNDoRg6
