Tipton Community School District

3rd Grade Market

All 3 3rd grade classes combined to create a unique market scenario. They were tasked with completing chores at home to earn money to spend at the market. Groups created their shops, hand made their items, set prices, and marketed their items to others. This collaborative effort taught so much to students in a real life learning scenario.

A win over West Branch tonight makes our Tipton Girls Basketball team RVC South CHAMPIONS! This makes the first time the Tigers have won the conference outright since 2000! Congrats girls!

Last regular season game of the year for our girls and boys basketball teams in West Branch tonight. Make the short trip to support these student athletes! Varsity girls will tip at 6:00, Varsity boys to follow at 7:30! Let's Go Tigers!

The girls basketball team starts the post season this Saturday. Tipton Youth Basketball Association will pay for the first 50 students who come in showing up their TMS Tiger Den shirts. If you do not have a shirt yet, come to the concessions stand for the boys game tonight at home.

Tipton 6th graders learned to play ukulele's! After just a couple lessons they improved a lot, being able to play a variety of chords!

Yesterday, in celebration of world read aloud day, some middle school students read to elementary classes!

On Tuesday, January 20th the 6th Grade had an Author's Coffee House during Mrs. Foss's writing class. The students were able to enjoy hot cocoa and popcorn as they shared their Fictional Narratives and received feedback from their peers to improve their writing. It was a fun, learning environment and a great way to celebrate 6th Grade Authors at the end of the unit.
