Mrs. Wendt's class would like to say thank you to all veterans, especially the special ones in our TGS family!
Ms. Tarin's 2nd grade class enjoyed a read and feed on November 1st. Students could read and take AR tests while enjoying a snack of dirt pudding. Students had to follow the steps in a process to make their snacks, which is a math skill they have been working on.
Mrs. Repking's 1st grade class wrapped up their election unit today using the book “Duck for President” by Doreen Cronin!
They spent last week discussing what makes a good leader and character traits of both candidates (Duck and Farmer Brown). Then, they did an opinion writing on what makes each candidate a good leader to run the farm.
After some very persuasive, civil discussions, the ballots were cast today!
It was a VERY tight race, but by ONE vote, Duck won!!!
Thank you to the Teutopolis and St. Francis Home Community Education Organization for making and providing bookmarks to TGS students!
Mrs. Repking’s first graders joined their 4th grade buddies in Mrs. Sandschafer’s classroom for a fun STEAM project!

Mrs Jansen’s Kindergarten class learned about chemical reactions while having some fun mixing Halloween potions!
Every student in Mrs. Mellendorf's 1st grade classroom received the book "Room on the Broom" thanks to some first-grade reading sponsors!

Mrs. Drees had her third graders create marble mazes for a group project. A lot of planning, creativity, and teamwork happened during this STEM project. The students pictured won the mazes.
