Miss Bitschenauer’s class has been researching different types of frogs and toads in class after learning the frog life cycle. Students made a slideshow with facts of their frog or toad assigned to them to present to the class. They got to learn how to include pictures in google slides and search the internet in a kid friendly way!

TCUSD3 Parents - Wee need your help!
This is a reminder to participate in the parent survey supplement, part of the Illinois 5Essentials Survey administration. We guarantee that survey responses will never be connected to the identity of you or your child. School reports will only present aggregated information of how parents and students responded as a whole.
A parent survey report will be generated if at least 20 percent of parents respond to the survey. While the parent data will not be made public, the parent report will be made available to building principals and Dr. Chris Dougherty and will enable them to make considerations based on the responses given by TCUSD3 parents. Your participation in the parent survey will help us understand the conditions at your child’s school and guide improvement. Again, your identity and individual survey responses will be kept completely confidential and will never be connected to you or your child.
Teachers and 4th through 12th graders throughout Illinois are taking the teacher and student 5Essentials Survey. School-level 5Essentials Reports will be generated if teachers and/or students meet their 50 percent response-rate thresholds. These research-based reports will be sent to schools and districts in March and will also be included in the State School Report Card, released statewide in the fall.
Please visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ to take the parent survey.
If you have any questions about the survey, please contact UChicago Impact Customer Support at 1-866-440-1874 or impact-surveys@uchicago.edu.

Mrs. Thorpe's class drew monsters, wrote paragraphs, and used the chatterpix app to make their monsters "talk".
Miss Bitschenauer’s class is learning about character traits so they made this craft to show our traits on the inside.

The stories will be edited together into a video to create a full newscast. Students enjoyed being responsible for several newsroom jobs: reporter, producer, and camera operator.
