First graders have been hard at work learning about the human body systems! They read about a different system each day and then wrote and illustrated informational books to share what they learned. To celebrate the end of the unit, Mrs. Schrant's class played the classic game of Operation! The conversations while playing reflected all the new information learned during this unit! #tongienation #usd464

Fifth graders in Mrs. Lawson's art classes explored architecture by completing an architecture challenge! Students had to envision what they would build, build it, & then draw what they built. Afterwards, students shared their creations by taking a "gallery walk" around the art room. This challenge encouraged students to exercise their creating, responding, and presenting skills. Students pictured are from Mr. Simon's class. #tongienation #usd464
