art Page 4 It’s fall!! Hallelujah! We are having so much creativity going on in the art room. Finger paint, watercolors, oil pastels, ink…do you get the picture (pun intended!) Please make sure your child has a cover up to put on for art days…or at least not wear their “good” clothes. Those are the kid’s words! For those new to our school, I’d like to tell you about our Dear Soldier campaign. Every year since 9/11, our school has sent CARE packages to American troops in either Afghanistan or Iraq. Each child in the school draws a picture and /or makes a card. Our families send candy, chips and all sorts of treats. The Student Council, Mrs. Cash, Nurse Amanda, Mrs. Finley and I then place them in shoe boxes and mail to the Middle East right after Thanksgiving for Christmas delivery. Some of the items we have placed in the soldier’s boxes have found their way to village children. Together we make a difference in the lives of those who sacrifice so much for us. They are touched by the words of our children and the outpouring of support from our families. If you would like to contribute to our effort, please place the items in a bag with my name on it and I’ll make sure they make it into the CARE packages. The following are some ideas for items to send to me…please note we can’t send canned goods or homemade treats: Individual bags of chips, pretzels, Pringles, cheez-its, Slim Jims, any kind of candy, gum, mints, tic-tacs, puzzle books, paper, pens, Sports Illustrated magazines, small containers of Baby Wipes, Chap-Stick, batteries, Pre-Paid Calling Cards (International), Snickers Candy Bars are the favorite! Take care and please know it’s a true pleasure to work with your children. With Warm Regards, Laura Ashe Art Teacher Ms. Ashe Early Childhood “To catch the reader's attention, place an interesting sentence or quote from the story here.” Our school year has gotten off to a great start! We have been busy practicing procedures and the importance of rules. We are exploring our environment with our five senses and we have been practicing counting to 25. We have also been identifying and analyzing 2D and 3D shapes. We enjoyed our field trip to Black's Farm with our K4 and K5 students as we learned about ani- mals and harvesting crops. Remember to fill out your monthly reading tree log. Mrs. Page and Mrs. Thompson’s class enjoying a hayride FARM FUN
New Faces at TCS Page 5 Ms. Celeste, Early Childhood Teacher I am the newest Early Childhood teacher. I was a substitute for Richland School District One in Columbia, SC for five years and I only took positions in Montessori classrooms. I earned my Montessori Certification in May of 2012. I am an active volunteer. I feel that I have found my place in the classroom. I was recruited from the volunteer mothers when my children were small. I love children in all shapes, sizes and descriptions. My two surviving sons are Christopher, 13 and Timothy, 12. They are both in middle school. We are a musical family as they play many instruments. We have an active church life. Outside of the classroom I enjoy walking, cooking, reading, and scrapbooking. Cooking for teenaged boys is a must. Baking is a pleasure that I like to share, because I should not eat the entire batch of cookies. We are enjoying being included in the Rock Hill community. I get good tips from my students. Our family agrees that we have not met any strangers since our move.
