Congratulations to our incredible TES social worker Shelby Burnett! Shelby was recently named the 2024 Kansas School Social Worker of the Year! Well deserved, Mrs. Burnett! We're so proud of you! #tongienation #usd464





Kindergarten finished up their CKLA unit on colonial towns and townspeople. They learned all about various tradespeople. As a culminating activity, Mrs. Sparks’ students created paper plushies. Students chose a design and colored it, sewed it together using yarn, and filled it with stuffing. They were so proud of their finished products! #tongienation #usd464






Roaring into MAP testing like never before! 🦖📚 Second graders are dino-mite as they prep for assessments, having transformed their hallway into a Jurassic adventure! #tongienation #usd464
Rambo, Phyllis Diller, Holly, and Lani were our special guests yesterday! Some happy fifth graders had the opportunity to read to these sweet dogs from Human Animal Bond Therapy Pets of Leavenworth. We look forward to one more visit from our furry friends before the end of the school year in May! 🐶🐶🐶 #tongienation #usd464

Fifth graders in Mrs. Maize’s and Ms. Smith’s 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.) 🐥🐥🐥 #tongienation #usd464
Mrs. Coia's students learned about three dimensional shapes by creating their own! #tongienation #usd464






Ms. Carr's fourth graders had a Mystery Reader today! Ms. Carr's fiancé came to class and read stories from The Stinky Cheese Man. 👃🧀🏃♂️ #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 “foods” 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
Students in Ms. Kim's afternoon preschool class worked on counting to 20 by making 20 mattresses and feather beds for the Princess and the Pea! #tongienation #usd464
