Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, in partnership with our families and community, educates and challenges every student to succeed and become a responsible and contributing member of the global community.
On Friday, January 26th, the fourth grade class at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School presented their Colonial Day projects to demonstrate how the early colonists organized themselves.
Each fourth grader chose an occupation from colonial days and conducted research to learn more about a particular trade. After organizing information and summarizing important details, the students created visual presentations and displayed them for an audience.
The IB learner profile represents the core values of our school community. When TJ's Student Council Association (SCA) met last week, each member illustrated one of the ten attributes of the learner profile. Their works of art are currently on display in the TJ cafeteria, reminding students of ways to demonstrate the learner profile during lunch and recess. Take a gallery walk through the cafeteria to learn more about being knowledgeable, reflective, caring, balanced, principled, open-minded, a thinker, a communicator, a risk-taker, and an inquirer.
The TJ SCA members are: Grade 2 - Suan Kim, Bella Paradiso, Bobby Miller, Mattei Chiappetta, Ownen Gelzer, Truman Lapp, Zoraida Icabalceta; Grade 3 - Emily Rose Allen, Jonathan Oppenheimer, Katherine Donovan, Matthew Sperry, Jack Lindly, Nick Pollack, Emily Ives; Grade 4 - Colter Adams, Rosie Tombul, Drew Langford, Ciara Curtin, Elisa D'Agostine, Enzo Paradiso.

MASHING MAIZE INTO A MEAL - It only takes a rock, a rope,a tree stump and a little muscle to grind kernels into cornmeal the Native American way. Second grade students at Thomas Jefferson learned about Native American history and culture through food, planting, games, rope-making, beads, music and dance. Special thanks for all parents of the Outdoor Classroom and all others involved.

Thomas Jefferson students circled the George Mason High School track on Thursday, May 12, again and again for the annual TJ Mile Run. Overall fitness was the goal this year as third and fourth grade students participated in the Presidential Physical Fitness Challenge.
Second grade students were encouraged by teachers and parents to run or walk laps, too.
