Some of our first grade students have been participating in a Reader's Theatre called "Walking Under the Stars". They have been practicing their script for a while and got to perform it for one another this week during their enrichment block. Great job first grade!
Thank you to Dan Skoff and KNWA for hosting our 3rd graders at the news station yesterday! They had a fun-filled day of learning and they are TV stars! See the video here: https://www.nwahomepage.com/video/thomas-jefferson-elementary-3rd-grade-knwa-field-trip/10370060/
A snow day seems appropriate since students learned about the continent of Antarctica in Global Connections this week! While playing in the snow, perhaps your TJ tiger is imagining that they're Roald Amundsen - the famous Norwegian explorer who led the first successful expedition to the South Pole. Or maybe they're waddling around and sliding on their bellies, pretending to be one of the eight species of penguins that call Antarctica home. Either way, we hope you're having fun making snow day memories!
TJ will dismiss at 12:30 today due to incoming inclement weather. Stay safe and warm, tiger families!
Winter Break is here! We hope you enjoy a relaxing and joyful break with your family. We will see you back at school on January 6, 2025!

It was an honor to announce Thomas Jefferson Leadership Academy to our community today! This exciting new model will be one of the newest parent choice offerings within Bentonville Schools.

Happy National Special Education Day! We are thankful for our special education team here at TJ. They collaborate with each other to put student needs first, and we couldn't ask for a better group of staff members!
