September 11th, 2001 is a day that has been etched into our memories forever.  In honor of that day, and the importance of what it represents, Mrs. Robbins invited the entire school out front to show our respect for the fallen victims of 9-11.  After a moment of silence to lower the flag, singing the national anthem, and reciting the pledge, Mrs. Robbins spoke of the importance of kindness.  Kindness towards each other, ourselves and neighbors.  Thank you for encouraging our students to deepen their respect for our country and to move forward with kindness in their hearts.

Taylor teachers love to share their teaching talents with one another.  Two of Taylor’s biggest experts are Mr. Cornwall and Mrs. Wride. They love to get into classrooms and pass on their knowledge in math, reading, writing, phonics and technology. Both teachers and students enjoy learning new skills passed on by these experts. 

Picture Day was a success!!! If your student was absent, picture make-up will be October 5th. 

Second grade classes have been diving deep into science this year! This week, the classes have been studying the properties of matter.  Students used their scientific thinking skills to sort objects into different categories based on the properties they had in common! We can’t wait to see what these second graders will discover next!

One of the best things about Taylor school is the collaboration between teachers! Taylor teachers participate in rigorous professional development, constant collaboration, and school-wide goal setting.

We’ve welcomed some of our tiniest tigers to school this week! Our kindergarten classes in Mrs. Lowe, Mrs. Wickel and Mrs. Platt’s classes officially joined the Taylor legacy.  Kindergarteners made it through their first week of school with success! They have learned how to line up, use crayons, and to cut with scissors.  They also made a few new friends along the way!
We are looking forward to a successful kindergarten year!

In Art this week, each grade level made 'engineer hats'. Students enjoyed wearing their hats all afternoon around the halls of Taylor!  Classes listened to, learned about and watched trains during class. Thank you Mrs. Patten for keeping students engaged in learning!

This Thursday, Sept. 1st, is Taylor’s PICTURE DAY! Picture packets came home with students on Monday. All students will need to have their picture taken even if a packet is not purchased. We can’t wait to see everyone’s smiling faces on Thursday!

If you are the parent of a kindergarten student, please check your email for some time sensitive information from Mrs. Robbins.  This email contains a SignUp Genius link for the KEEP Assessment. These important items must be completed before your child is placed in a class.  If you have questions, please call the school.  Thanks in advance for your prompt response and we look forward to seeing those cute kindergarten kids soon!
