Mrs. McCoy's forensic science students became handwriting analysis experts this week! They determined which THS staff member wrote their fake ransom letter & were able to solve all 10 "crimes." No animals, scooters, or San Francisco Giants bat boys were harmed in this activity. #tongienation #usd464

Spanish 1 students in Profe McQueen's classes have been watching the "El mono 2" video series. Here, her 2nd hour students are retelling the story to each other. Using screenshots from the video series helps them remember the key events, settings, and characters so they can focus on communicating completely in Spanish! #tongienation #usd464

Students in Profe McQueen's Spanish 1 classes played Pass It Up! to review the video story "El mono" (The Monkey). After dividing into teams, students listened to sentences in Spanish, looked for the corresponding screenshots, and passed the illustrations forward to their teammates. Those in the front had to race to put them on the whiteboard and get back to their chairs first. Yes, they were loud, but they were listening, thinking, collaborating, and moving--high energy AND engagement! #tongienation #usd464
