TGS October Dress Up Days!
Mrs. Kreke’s kindergarten class had a busy week full of learning and fun!
After 21 days of watching their incubator, the students welcomed 10 baby chicks on Tuesday! They learned about the life cycle of a chicken and the many ways chickens help us on the farm.
The class also explored apples with a taste test and voted for their favorite variety. Later in the week, they celebrated Dolly Parton Day by making cowboy hats and listening to some of her classic songs.
To top it all off, the kindergarteners met their fourth-grade buddies for the first time! They got to know each other while creating a “Getting to Know You” banner and are looking forward to more activities together this year.

First graders in Mrs. Mellendorf's class have started a unit on the Piggie and Gerald series! Students tend to grasp the love of reading when they encounter these beloved characters. Today was just the first day of the unit, and they already listened to four of the books, made character hats, incorporated Piggie and Gerald into their Math lesson, and worked on their artistic abilities by drawing the characters while watching a How-To video. We can't wait to read the rest of the books in this series!
