Students in Mrs. West's class celebrated the end of their first ELA unit with chocolate milkshakes!

Mrs. Albrecht's 3rd grade class is learning about animal classification in reading! Today we learned about birds and their characteristics including their wingspan. Students had the opportunity to trace their own wingspan and decorate their pair of wings!

Looks like the Monarch migration has officially made its way to TES! One of our first graders brought a very special visitor to school today. Sometimes the best science lessons happen when nature comes to us!

Tonight's the night! Grab the family, skip the kitchen, and head to Gambino’s! A portion of tonight’s proceeds will go back to the Tonganoxie Elementary PTC to help support our students and classrooms.

Good food + great company + supporting TES = Deliciously Awesome!

Fall is here, why not a pumpkin spice mug cake!

TES Art teacher Mrs. Lawson attended "Looking After: Art & Care in Education Across Kansas" a K-12 Teacher Conference at the University of Kansas. The two-day event was put on by the Spencer Museum of Art. The conference included workshops about Coloratura, looking at pieces in the Spencer and making ELA connections, as well as Studio Intensives with the KU Visual Art Department. Saturday included a SMA-Art Fest with art, ideas and experiences from across the University and the State of Kansas. There was gallery time to view the exhibit "Looking After: Art & Care in Education Across Kansas". The exhibit explores the many ways that art can facilitate learning. Mrs. Lawson is part of PEAK (Partners in Education Across Kansas) which is a program at SMA. A quote from Mrs. Lawson is part of the exhibit which will be on view through January. Mrs. Lawson is featured in some of the photos in the exhibit which highlight the PEAK program participants.

Mrs. Jeffery's class is practicing multiplication facts with dice games.

Mrs. Albrecht's third grade class took part in a mock trial for Constitution Day! Students got to hear evidence and act as a jury to decide if the defendant was guilty or not guilty!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our 3rd Annual TES Tailgate! It was so much fun seeing our families hang out, play, enjoy some food, and get ready for THS football!

We are so thankful for our partnership with Community National Bank and their support in making this event happen again this year.

Thank you for showing up and making it such a fun night! We love our Braves and Chieftain families!

Kansas Teacher of the Year nominee and carrot enthusiast, Mrs. D, put in a valiant effort racing Tortoise of the Year nominee, Crush, in the annual Kindergarten Hare & Tortoise Race! What a great way to wrap up learning a great story!

Students in Mrs. DeKeyser's kindergarten class had their first opportunity to learn today from our school counselor, Mrs. Bradley! Mrs. Bradley teaches us all about our feelings, working together, and overcoming tough situations. We love getting to learn from her and having the opportunity to meet all of her puppet friends!

Students in kindergarten are practicing working together in small group rotations. Together they practice solving problems, building, following patterns, writing numbers, and growing their brains! Great work Mrs. DeKeyser's class!
