What's happening in our classrooms
2008-09

See what's happening this year

There's more to school than...

class work,

eating lunch,

and standing in line.

See what else we're doing at Tulip Grove

 

April 2, 2009.  First Grade Spring Fling!  Parents hide over 500 eggs for first grade students to find.

Eggs dotted the fields, and hid amongst the trees, as the children lined up waiting to go hunt for the eggs.

Mrs. Tull said "Go," and the kids took off.  Everyone was to find exactly fourteen eggs.

Finding eggs everywhere.

 

March 20, 2009.  First Grade Kite Day!

It takes hard work and concentration to get a kite in the sky.  Thanks to all parents who came out to help!

 

The sun was shining and there was a good breeze.  Just what you need to fly a kite.

The blue sky over our school was dotted with kites.

Everybody had a great time. 

 

February 19, 2009.  Our second quarter Honor Roll Assembly

Second, third, fourth and fifth grade students -- along with lots of parents and grandparents, gather in the cafeteria to recognize our Honor Students.

Mr. B. congratulates each student.

And then they all take a bow!

 

November 21, 2008.  With the whole school watching, State Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Nancy Grasmick, and Milken representative, Dr. Jane Foley, presented a surprised Ms. Landefeld with the Milken award.  Read the articles in the Washington Post, Bowie Blade-News and the Bowie Star, and see more pictures on the County web site.

 

 

 

 

November 17, 2008 -- Big Yellow Dog Day!  Mr. B said if we met our fundraising goal, he'd come to school dressed as a dog.  And we did, and he did!  A big, yellow dog greets students on their way to class on Monday, November 17.

Visitors were surprised to see who was in the front office that day.

Students gave the dog hugs,


or handshakes as they entered the building that morning.

 

 

November 12, 2008 -- School nurse, Mrs. Billingsley, arranged for the mobile dentist to visit.  Many children took advantage of the opportunity.  They bring everything they need ...

An x-ray machine,

and a chair.

 

So they can clean your teeth,

And you even leave with a brand-new toothbrush!

 

 

October 29, 2008 -- Every Wednesday, Bowie State University students come to conduct a reading clinic with our younger students.

 

 

October 28.  The PTA sponsors our annual Fall Festival

Lots of people wear a costume

Even the stuffed animals in the hall...

Doors are decorated in the hallways,

As the students can trick or treat at school

Everybody tries to win a cake in the cakewalk

 

Carnival games in the multi-purpose room are fun!

 

 

October 1, 2008 -- Courtyard cleanup, sponsored by the Student Government Association.

Parents (with young helpers) raked and cleaned.

SGA students planted pansies,


and chrysanthemums.

Students and staff line up for ice-cream.

Then sit down with their friends to enjoy!

Former students enjoy coming back to help.

 

 

September 25, 2008 -- Bus riders practice emergency procedures.

 

 

September 25, 2008 -- A month after school started, our patrols have their morning routines down.

 

Arriving early, they collect the cones, and place them outside.

Flags are raised.

 

As all students gather on the plaza, patrols keep an eye out for safety.

 

 

August 25, 2008.  It's the first day of the 2008-09 school year!

Mr. Baudoin made sure the school was ship-shape and ready for kids, and stands ready to welcome everyone under our festive balloon arch.

Parents and big sisters walk new students to school.

Most students walk to school, but some arrive on the bus every morning.

Mr. B chats with parents and students.

Everyone gathers on the front plaza before school.

 

The bell rings, and parents and teachers walk the students to the classrooms.

 

First graders and kindergartners look for their classrooms, helped by their parents and siblings.

PGCPS Superintendent, Dr. Deasy, visited Tulip Grove, talking with many of the children and teachers.  Here he is with Mrs. Roth's third grade class.
