Tonganoxie High School

This past week, students in Profe McQueen's Spanish 1 classes began their first whole-class novel unit, "El Ratón Pablito". They used sequencing cards to predict the first chapter of the book, became familiar with new vocabulary, watched the chapter video, and read the first chapter in pairs and small groups. As they continue reading the novel, their goal is to retell the stories by speaking and writing in Spanish.

Please help us to congratulate Landen Brown! He has completed the requirements for his high school diploma through the Success Center. He is planning to attend KCKCC's Tech Center, so his cap and gown photo will have to wait for a bit longer. Best of luck, Landen!
