TED Table Tuesdays!

Dates available:
TBD
TED activities take place at Lunch recess between 11:30 AM -12:40PM

We would like to involve more parents and community members in our educational experience at Topa. TED Table Tuesdays is a fun opportunity to spend 1 hour overseeing students enjoy a hands on activity. TED stands for technology, entertainment and design. Activities should aim for students to try something they may not get to do in a regular school day. You DO NOT need to teach or instruct students, but more assist and encourage them to explore and try new things.  TED Table Tuesday runs during lunch recess starting at 11:30 until 12:40. Currently we hold this for upper grades 1-5. If Kindergarten parents would like to run a TED table, they will need to do a separate activity, as Kindergarten has a separate playground. Give just one hour of time to interact and enrich our students. Below is a list of activities the PTA already has the supplies ready and available. We just need an adult to oversee it. Sign up for one of the Tuesday slots and indicate what activity you would like to do. You may choose from the list below, or choose one of your own activities and bring your own supplies.
