Kindergartners in Mrs. Dombeck's class worked on their first page of symbols to repeat in their sketchbooks. This helps to strengthen fine motor skills and helps with creative drawing as their brains develop. Once they were done they continued decorating their folders in a unique way to personalize them. Some even made them into little computers!!

Dr. Poyser and Mrs. Phillips stopped by with a surprise announcement for our very own kindergarten teacher extraordinaire, dinosaur enthusiast, and all-around legend, Mrs. DeKeyser!
Just like Mrs. Frizzle, Mrs. DeKeyser takes her students on wild adventures every day, and now she’s heading on a pretty big adventure of her own!
Mr. DeKeyser is Tonganoxie Elementary's nominee for Kansas Teacher of the Year!
Congratulations, Mrs. DeKeyser! We are so proud of you!

Ms. Cornwell's Social Studies classes wrapped up their unit on Pre-Columbian People of America with a craft related to the different meanings for colors of corn.
Fifth graders in Mrs. Lawson's art room are exploring what artists do by drawing their self-portraits. Artists draw what they feel. Students show their feelings in their portraits while they explore different drawing materials. The artwork will stay at school until the end of the year. At that time, students will draw an "End of the Year Portrait" and reflect on their growth as an artist. Students pictured are in Mrs. Euler's class.

Mrs. Lawson is so excited to have two Adaptive Art classes at TES this year. She would like to thank her building principals for giving these classes a green light. In these pictures, students from Mrs. Douglas's CBR class are exploring shapes and textures with different materials. One student said it was "magic".
Students in Mrs. Olsen's 4th grade have been working on their multiplication fluency with a pair of 12 sided dice and a challenge game with a partner. #tes #tongienation

Happy first day of school, Braves Families!
Just a friendly reminder that students may begin entering the building at 7:30 AM. This applies to car riders, bus riders, and walkers.
Today’s half-day dismissal begins at 11:30 AM.
For families using the afternoon car loop, please take a moment to check out the image below for a closer look at today’s dismissal procedures.
And, as always on the first day back, a little patience goes a long way! Our staff and students are working together to get into the rhythm of a new school year, so things may take a little extra time as everyone gets settled.
