Kindergartners are starting their clay unit at TES! First up was working with Model Magic to make a ball, a coil, & a slab. They were so excited to take their clay home, but they've got homework to exercise those hands to prepare for the REAL clay next time! #tongienation #usd464

Tonganoxie USD 464 will be closed on Friday, January 10, 2025. Continued inclement weather has made it unsafe to transport students to school. All district schools and buildings are closed. Per our inclement weather policies, all morning practices are cancelled. Decisions regarding afternoon practices will be made by noon and communicated by coaches accordingly. Please be safe and stay warm. ☃️☃️☃️ #tongienation #usd464

Mrs. Tinberg's, Mrs. Streeter's, Mrs. Reynold's and Mrs. DeKeyser's students enjoyed looking through a traveling tote from the Kansas Historical Society in Topeka! The tote contained items that Native Americans from Kansas used to build their homes, as well as pictures, tools, & model homes! This was such a unique, hands-on learning experience and a fun way to enhance and wrap up their unit about Native Americans! #tongienation #usd464 #kansashistoricalsociety
