TECH news: Kindergarten and first grade also celebrated International Dot Day in technology classes. First grade students used SeeSaw to create their own dot and make their mark. Kindergarten used virtual reality to make their dots come to life. There were squeals of excitement!

We have fun in intervention! We have worked hard on letter recognition, word reading, and fluency. We are so proud of these hard working friends!!

In these photos, 5th graders are seen learning how to play an accompaniment pattern to the song "Little Tommy Tinker". The students quickly discovered that singing while playing the instruments is much more difficult than they expected!

It has been a great week of intervention at SCES! We have loved getting our groups and getting to know our students. We can’t wait to see the academic growth these students will make this year!

2nd graders got to start the year by drawing selfies. They designed their own phone and then learned how to draw their self portrait. They did an awesome job!

South Clinton Elementary Students will all get to experience the National Geographic sponsored Giant Tennessee Traveling Map this week in library class. Students will "walk" across TN using map skills that are age appropriate. Students.....don 't forget to wear or bring socks! Pictured is Mrs. Dungan's class.

You should have received student TCAP reports and letters about the TCAP Family Portal from your child’s school. To enroll in the TCAP Family Portal use the Url: https://familyreport.tnedu.gov/login. Use your US ID. This is the number with 2 zeros in the beginning. Families may use the TCAP Family Portal to: access your student’s state test results via your phone or computer, track progress over time, learn the areas where your student demonstrated strengths, and the areas where they can still grow, and find clear next steps to help your student improve.
