Mrs. Tinberg partnered with the THS FFA program to bring a few animals to school as a cumulative activity for kindergarteners to conclude their unit about farms! Students were able to meet a cow, a piglet, and chickens and learn what it takes to raise them. Huge shout out to the THS FFA members for their wonderful help! #tongienation #usd464 #FFA

Mrs. Lawson's art classes have been doing their attachment challenge, a precursor to opening up the Sculpture Studio for 3rd, 4th & 5th grade. Students were not allowed to use glue or staples; they had to rely on 2 pieces of tape & other forms of attachment. This was a timed challenge & they were given a prompt to base their sculpture off of. This is third grade's first time doing this challenge. Pictured are students from Mrs. Albrecht's class.
