Mascot Contest
Kinder's creative juices were hard at work in February creating entries for the TISA mascot contest.
Just in case the tell-tale facial expressions and the exquisite artwork do not speak for themselves, I will disclose that we were indulging chameleons, the quirky colorful reptilian artists of the animal world. Although we did not win the contest, we now have a herd(?) of chameleons in our class gallery.
Please visit and enjoy their full display of TISA colors.

TISA is proud to announce that we are the TISA Dragons courtesy of the hard and talented work of Hailey Chanler in 6th Grade. It was a tough choice, but Hailey was voted the overall winner of the TISA mascot contest by staff and the PTA. For her hard work Hailey will be receiving a brand new bike courtesy of the PTA. And student Otto Manley, a 3rdGrader will be receiving a 4 pack to the Storyteller Theater for his first prize coloring entry. Thanks to all who participated.

Congratulations to these outstanding Kindergarten students of the month:
Bernice O'Reilly
Vincent Brady
Dr Seuss' 112 Birthday -- In Celebration of
Reading
Thank you all for your whole-hearted participation!
Unfortunately many children were sick and could not attend on the day of the Read-a-thon. If the children who were absent are interested in taking a "rain check" for the event, I'd be happy to have them either read at home with family or in school with a volunteer (Megan O., would you be interested?). The PTA is presenting each class with a $20 gift certificate for their participation.
In kinder the recipient of the gift card will be pulled out of a hat.
I will include all absent children with a reading log signed by a grown-up.
You also asked about your pledges for the Read-a-thon. We'll be using the money we raise
to pay for transportation for the end-of-the-year kinder field trip
and for kinder's end-of-year celebration (April 28).
You are welcome to write a check for TISA in the next week or two.
This week in kinder:
TUESDAY:
Kinder music performance: SOUNDS OF AFRICA
at 3:00pm in the kindergarten room

Hakuna matata! Will see you there!
THURSDAY
Explora is returning for a third session with kindergarten on Thursday
HEALTH UPDATE
There are a few cases of ringworm in the lower grades. Children with ringworm are to attend school. To treat ringworm: the most frequently used meds are tolnaftate, miconazole, and clotrimazole. A small amount is applied two or three times a day for at least a week, during which time some clearing should begin.
If your child has any skin concerns please visit a medical professional to determine the cause of the condition.
Some informative links BUT please go to Dr. for assessment.
HOMEWORK
Do on Monday (due on Tuesday): We are working on an interactive display with an African theme. Please search around your home for items that might qualify (jeep? stuffed animals? fossils? coconut shell? map? book?) Or feel free to create your own African-inspired piece (draw/paint/cut out an African animal/puppet, make a beaded bracelet, or a shaker).
Do on Tuesday (due on Wednesday): Write your own number story (e.g. Quintin saw 4 chameleons in the tree and 5 chameleons on the ground. How many chameleons did he see in all?) Please draw one way you would show how to solve your math problem.
Do on Wednesday (due on Thursday): Bring clippings/artwork/your own paint/color mix that show your favorite colors. Label your items as best you can.
