Students in Mrs. DeKeyser's kindergarten class had their first opportunity to learn today from our school counselor, Mrs. Bradley! Mrs. Bradley teaches us all about our feelings, working together, and overcoming tough situations. We love getting to learn from her and having the opportunity to meet all of her puppet friends!
Students in kindergarten are practicing working together in small group rotations. Together they practice solving problems, building, following patterns, writing numbers, and growing their brains! Great work Mrs. DeKeyser's class!
Mrs. Albrecht's third graders enjoyed wrapping up their classic tales unit! They enjoyed a tea party complete with snacks and juice and watched the classic tale Alice in Wonderland!

First graders and Mrs. Dombeck's class got to try out studios for the first time today, architecture, whiteboard, and drawing studio. This followed their still life drawing challenge that most completed last time. We also learned the disco spider, scraped against the table sounds like nails on a chalkboard 😆😆❤️🤍❤️🤍

The students in Mrs. West's class worked together to create comics showing the details they found in their reading. #tes #FourthGrade
Kindergartners in Mrs. Lawson's Art class are working on the Studio Habit of "developing craft". Students are learning to use different drawing tools as they draw their self-portraits. Students learned how artists draw what they feel. Students practiced making faces of different feelings and then looked at mirrors to study as they drew their faces. Mrs. Lawson read "Beautiful Oops" by Barney Saltzberg. This book is great for teaching what to do when we make a mistake.
The students in Mrs. Dennis' class are hard at work practicing their multiplication math facts with fun hands-on activities.
Mrs. Olsen's kids are making the best of indoor recess when it's 100* outside. Being creative with the use of Lego and stretching with Twister to keep their minds and bodies active. #tes #tongienation
Kindergartners in Mrs. Dombeck's class worked on their first page of symbols to repeat in their sketchbooks. This helps to strengthen fine motor skills and helps with creative drawing as their brains develop. Once they were done they continued decorating their folders in a unique way to personalize them. Some even made them into little computers!!

Ms. Cornwell's Social Studies classes wrapped up their unit on Pre-Columbian People of America with a craft related to the different meanings for colors of corn.
Fifth graders in Mrs. Lawson's art room are exploring what artists do by drawing their self-portraits. Artists draw what they feel. Students show their feelings in their portraits while they explore different drawing materials. The artwork will stay at school until the end of the year. At that time, students will draw an "End of the Year Portrait" and reflect on their growth as an artist. Students pictured are in Mrs. Euler's class.
Gordon Ramsay has nothing on Cooking Wednesdays in Mrs. Missy's room
Mrs. Lawson is so excited to have two Adaptive Art classes at TES this year. She would like to thank her building principals for giving these classes a green light. In these pictures, students from Mrs. Douglas's CBR class are exploring shapes and textures with different materials. One student said it was "magic".
Students in Mrs. Olsen's 4th grade have been working on their multiplication fluency with a pair of 12 sided dice and a challenge game with a partner. #tes #tongienation
