Mrs. Streeter and Mrs. Tinberg transformed their classrooms into "Camp Read S'more!" Students enjoyed stories by the campfire, made signs for their tents, decorated their own bookmarks, played games by the campfire, and much more! It's safe to say that they loved camping! Don't forget to sign up for the Tonganoxie Public Library Summer Reading program! #tongienation #usd464
