Opening Day! The TGS 5th GRADE teachers are divided!!
Second grade students from Mrs. Yager’s and Mrs. Bushue’s classes wrapped up their adjective unit by describing foods. They had to use their five senses at the “Dragon Diner” and critique the food. They had so much fun!
Ms. Mette’s 4th grade students are “buddies” with Mrs. Jansen’s kindergarten class. They enjoyed playing the card game “War” together.

After learning about anemometers in science, the students in Mrs. Drees' class made their own with partners. It took teamwork, trial and error, and problem solving to get them to spin in circles when they blew on them. Too bad it wasn't a windy day today!!
The first graders had the honor of listening to local veterans speak about the history of and how to handle the American flag. They were presented with their own flags to take home.
