    Thank you to the Tilden staff and families who volunteered alongside other West Seattle neighbors to spruce up this local park we all enjoy! Y’all filled 40 bags with yard waste. Wow!

  • Another way to study

    An important focus in fifth grade is learning how to study effectively. “Which study strategies work well for me?” the fifth-graders ask themselves week to week. Here are a few examples of methods the fifth-graders employed to study geography and geology concepts.

    Note: These videos are not of polished performances; rather, the fifth-graders were good sports to film the chants and dance moves they created for studying. Indeed, there are a few errors due to nerves. Can you spot the errors?

    Recently, the sounds of poetry could be heard drifting through the school as the students and teachers shared the poems they had stashed in their pockets. Every year, the Tilden community joins with the rest of the country to celebrate poetry with Poem in Your Pocket Day.

    As is typical of Tilden parents, they went all out to host joyous and sugar-filled parties for each class! Thank you, parents, for your time, creativity, and sense of fun! With so many engaging activities and extra attention, the kids and staff loved every minute!

  • January 22-24, 2019: IslandWood

    Tilden’s fifth grade class spent three days and two nights at IslandWood, an environmental sciences school in the woods on Bainbridge Island. The program provides exceptional learning experiences with the goal of inspiring lifelong environmental stewardship. Outdoors each day, the fifth-graders studied ecosystems while living in ways that are more sustainable. Now it’s up to the fifth grade students to continue living in more sustainable ways, encouraging their families and friends to do the same.

  • February 4, 2019: Snow day!

    Bitter cold? No prob, if snow is on the ground. Half of Tilden’s delightful kiddos made it to school on the first snow day of the school year, and boy, did we have fun! Snow angels appeared, snowmen were formed, and snowballs sailed through the frigid air, as students frolicked in the frozen landscape. We might have learned a little indoors, as well.

  • January 7-11, 2019: Donation Drive for WestSide Baby

    Many thanks to Mark Thomas, parent of Griffin (5th)! Once again he organized a drive to donate needed items to WestSide Baby; once again, Tilden families stepped up. Carseats, strollers, clothing, diapers, books, and more were donated and are now available for the more than 38,000 children served by WestSide Baby. Thanks to everyone who contributed, and especially to Mark for making it all happen!
