Egg-citing things are happening in Mrs. Klingler’s classroom! After 21 days of waiting and watching, the second graders are egg-cited! 🐥 Our fluffy friends finally hatched! We welcomed 17 chicks and had so much fun color-coding and naming each one. We almost had one chick for every student!
Today, we celebrate the incredible administrative professionals who are the first point of contact, the problem-solvers, and the organizational wizards of our schools. Your contributions are invaluable! Thank you! #TCUSD3

Doktor Kaboom: Under Pressure!
🚀 Our 5th graders had a BLAST at UIS with Doktor Kaboom! 🔬⚡ Equal parts science, comedy, and personal empowerment, this interactive show had students laughing, learning, and thinking about real-life mental and emotional pressures in a whole new way! 🧠💡
From wild experiments to important life lessons, it was an unforgettable experience! Thank you, UIS Performing Arts Center, for bringing the magic of science to life!

They always look forward to this special day when they get to connect & learn with one another!
Monthly Dojo Behavior Incentive Reward Party
Every month, 4th grade students are recognized for making respectful, responsible, and safe choices at Memorial School with a reward party. Students got to celebrate with a food art project creating edible "hats" to kickoff Read Across America and Dr. Seuss's birthday next week! These kids did a wonderful job creating hats made for a cat that Dr. Seuss would be proud to wear!
