Let's Dance!
Children’s House classes, 282 and 286, got a chance to try a dance class on the stage last Monday with Tobin parent, Carrie Voiland. Students moved their bodies in new ways, made shapes, explored rhythm, used their bodies to tell stories, and challenged themselves to leap high! Next week they’ll get a chance to learn, rehearse, and casually perform a snippet from The Nutcracker. Keep your eyes peeled for more photos!
CS Ed Week & Hour of Code
 Computer Science Education Week (month) is in full swing at Tobin! Check out this kick-off video of students and staff doing Hour of Code.
Hour of Code is inspiring students to learn computer code languages! Links to coding videos and websites are on our library webpage. Ask your children to show you what they learned this week!
Weekend Backpack Program
The Weekend Backpack Program – that started here at the Tobin, thanks to Alanna Mallon, former Tobin parent – is run entirely by volunteers. This program sends home healthy snacks/lunches for several of our students to enjoy over the weekend. Volunteers unload the food trucks at CRLS on Thursday afternoons and sort the food needed for each school. Christine Mastel, Tobin parent, picks up Tobin food every Friday morning and drives it back to school. The waiting volunteers are a "fine oiled machine" getting the bags ready for our students to take home. The bags are then distributed to the students by the office staff. It takes a team to have this program run a smoothly as it does.
If you would like to find out more about this program or would like to volunteer, please contact Mary at [email protected].
Orienteering
 All Lower El PE classes have been learning navigational skills through an orienteering unit. Students matched a list of animals with electronic cards and scanners on cones spread out through the gym (and outside on the fields in later classes!) They also learned how to orient a map of colored spots and cones.
Tobin Market
 The Tobin Market served 121 families this week!
