TES IS READY FOR THE SECOND SEMEMSTER
Students at Trenton Elementary have had a great week back following Christmas break. Third and fourth grade students have been learning about soil in science.
Third grade scientists explored what soil is made from, types of spoil, and how soil is formed. They investigated weathering and decomposition, and were so excited to learn the vital role of earthworms within the process.
Fourth grade scientists have been learning about water retention in soil. They observed which soils were the best at retaining water, and wrote about their discoveries. Fun and learning at TES!
TES DECEMBER STAFF SHOUT OUT!!! DANA CAPPS- TES Pre-K Teaching Assistant
Dana Capps does a fantastic job as the campus director for our District UIL Academic Meet. She takes care of countless details including scheduling events, organizing students, and providing practice materials to UIL coaches for all of the events.
Ms. Capps also does a phenomenal job as the Music Memory Coach. She makes practicing for Music Memory exciting each day after school for her team. She has different games and activities for the kids to enjoy so they can learn the music and have fun while they learn. They are cutting, gluing, making word searches, and doing other engaging things as they listen to music. She provides a snack for them each day, as well as some type of treat as an incentive for their hard work as they go out the door. They all leave with a smile on their face because she gives each one of them the confidence they need to be successful in their event. Her dedication ensures that her students finish at the top of the competitions each year.
TES is very grateful for her dedication to the UIL Academic Meet where our students have the opportunity to shine. - Mendy Hill (Dyslexia Specialist)

TES OCTOBER STAFF SPOTLIGHT
Norma Moore - TES School Secretary/Registrar
I want to say how thankful I am for Mrs. Moore. She is the glue that holds us all together. She is a lady who wears many hats and wears them well. There is never a time when she is not there to help, listen when you need a sounding board, remind you to put in your attendance, doctor a sick child if the nurse is off campus, listen to a child read, or just give a teacher a break when they need one (just to name a few). I can't imagine going through a school day, week, month, or year without her. I am proud to call her my friend. Thank you Norma for loving us all and for taking care of us. We love you! - Melanie Cranford (1st Grade Teacher)

Ira is such a wonderful role model for so many other students. He is always willing to help teachers and any student in need, without hesitation.
