All drivers have been instructed to use extra caution and remain alert for potential ice patches due to lingering drainage along roadways.
Additionally, we are closely monitoring the forecast as another round of winter weather is expected tomorrow night into Wednesday morning. Our team will participate in National Weather Service updates this afternoon, evening, and throughout tomorrow to stay informed on potential impacts.
In the meantime, we encourage students, staff, and families to prepare for a possible Non-Traditional Instruction (NTI) later this week, should conditions warrant a schedule change.
Thank you for your support!
4th grade Browning / Brizendine classes did a Valentines STEM challenge. Their objective was to build a heart with 21 cups and 4 pieces of different sized cardboards / styrofoam. They had to use ALL of their materials, and the heart had to be standing!
Students in Ms. Voegeleโs class participated in a valentines activity in which they worked to develop their creative writing skills. Students were told to choose a small handful of conversation hearts to use to write an original story. The phrases on the hearts helped to develop the plot.
The candies were glued to the actual papers and took the place of writing the words. As you can imagine, the stories ended up being very funny.
Recently in Art with Mrs. Nance!
Students in Mrs. Bryant's reading classes are Buddy Reading for independent reading time. Standards working on are R3.10 and Rf 3.4 reading smoothly at the 3rd grade level.

We loved raising money for our local humane society!
PTO will be selling Candy Grams next week for delivery on Valentine's Day! Forms should have went home, but if your child does not have a form, you can still send them in with money. We will have extra forms at the table. Candy grams can only be purchased at the PTO tables in the hallway during the mornings listed, please do not turn in forms or money to teachers.
Congratulations to our Cardiac Emergency Response Team! Taylorsville Elementary is now a Project ADAM Heart Safe School!
Ms. Porterโs reading classes showed skills of an effective communicator and empowered learner. Students chose a side of a debate, shared their thoughts with a group, but BEFORE sharing their own ideas they had to paraphrase what a peer said. Students worked on how to have a positive and fluid conversation while strengthening their knowledge of opinion writing.

Students should follow the NTI expectations that have communicated by their teachers and school. Staff will be available during the school day to provide support as needed.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back as soon as humanly possible.

4th grade is participating in ReadBowl, a global reading competition. A perk of reading the most minutes for the grade level is reading aloud to another class in our school (who guessed the correct total of minutes read for the week). The first quarter winner was Reuben Moore who read to Mrs Burnsโ first grade class.
