Oh how we've missed our friends from Human Animal Bond Therapy Pets! Theo, Blake, Sadie, and Louie were back to read with some very happy first graders. Theo even did a few tricks for us! 🐶🫶 #tongienation #usd464




Mrs. Riddle's first graders had a great time with Market Day!! After a unit about Goods and Services, first graders planned their own "good" or "service" to bring to their market. They earned "dollars" for three weeks to spend at the market. #tongienation #usd464










Kindergarten students in Mrs. DeKeyser's class & fifth grade students in Mrs. Schaecher's class came together to read on the learning stairs to celebrate Read Across America. It was so fun for Mrs. D to see her former students reading to her kindergarteners! #tongienation #usd464
