We had so much fun celebrating National School Breakfast Week last month! π³π₯π₯ #tongienation #usd464 #NSBW24
Fifth graders in Mrs. Maizeβs and Ms. Smithβs classes wrapped up their Peep Adoption week with a demonstration from Dr. Sarah Maddox-Schmitt from Wolf Creek Veterinary Clinic! Students first observed Dr. Maddox perform an extraction on Cadbury the Bunny after she ate some Lego. Dr. Maddox concluded her visit by treating Peeps who wanted a vaccination of colored sugar water. (No Peeps were harmed during her demonstration.) π₯π₯π₯ #tongienation #usd464

Mrs. Schrant's first graders have spent the last two weeks learning about different habitats and how animals have adapted to those habitats. Over the last two days, they tested bird beak adaptations using various utensils to simulate different shapes and sizes of beaks. They tested the utensil beaks on different bird βfoodsβ and used those results to draw conclusions about what types of birds eat what foods. It was fun to watch them make predictions, work together, and use all the information to learn new things! #tongienation #usd464

Mrs. Tinberg's students had so much fun with their end of unit activity after learning about Columbus and the Pilgrims. Students used their creativity to design a boat using aluminum foil, with the challenge of making it float! If the boat passed the floating test, it was put to another test to see if it could make it through a storm at sea π for 10 seconds to reach the new land (North America). #tongienation #usd464
