2026 Kindergarten Field Trip
TGS fifth graders enjoyed a rainy Weather Day presentation at Busch Stadium! They kicked off the morning learning about meteorology, storms, and the forces of motion, then wrapped up the day by cheering on the Cardinals to an exciting win. It was an incredible day all around!
Ms. Siemer’s science class got hands-on (and a little sweet!) while learning about how sedimentary rocks form . Students modeled weathering and erosion by breaking Jolly Ranchers into pieces, then carefully layered them in cups. By adding pressure with books, they simulated compaction—just like what happens deep within the Earth over time!
They loved observing the colorful layers they created, and of course, enjoyed a well-earned sweet reward for their hard work.

Mrs. Waldhoff’s 2nd grade class recently explored different animal habitats in science. Each student selected a habitat to research, learning about the plants and animals that live there. They then applied their knowledge to create their own detailed habitat models.
