We can check sizes, etc. if you are unsure. You can also tell your child to grab their item off the table! The tables are in the main hallway near the cafeteria.

Any items not claimed by Friday, 2/11 will be donated.

Kindergartners are loving small group work!!!

The boys and girls in Mrs. Neff's Kindergarten class have been focusing on identifying flat and solid shapes. The children have also been learning to draw shapes and create larger pictures or objects using shapes. Check out our group drawling 3-D shapes on the white board!

Miss Moore’s Kindergarten did a directed drawing of a snowman and then painted using watercolors! Check out their artwork - they did a great job!

First graders became engineers creating towers from common solid objects during science class. Students had to use what they learned about the properties of solids to build strong, tall, or beautiful towers. Everyone agreed that it was fun to be engineers even if it took some perseverance! Below are photos shared from Mrs. Curtin's and Mrs. Wendling's classes.

Mrs. Reichert's class practiced oral reading with whisper phones.

2nd graders put the steps of the Engineering Process into action by building their own back scratchers!

Second graders went outside to fly their paper airplanes to go along with their Science lesson!

Amazing second grade architects construct towers!

The third graders have been learning about hydroponics in their science class, and are earning their green thumbs growing lettuce. Each student has their own planter made from a mason jar, net cup, and rock wool. They measure and chart their plant’s growth each week with hopes to be able to make their own salad by the spring!

The students in Mrs. McHugh's fourth-grade class were "Breaking the Force" as they experimented with the force of magnets and how it changes when distance is placed between the magnets. A graph was created for recording their findings.

Safety of all students and staff is a top priority at Tawanka, so we have strict safety procedures in place. A reminder of the following:

Building Entry: All visitors must scan their driver's license or state issued ID at the kiosk in the front vestibule and wait for entry. This is required at every visit, or access will be denied.

Early Dismissals: Please notify the teacher if your child will be picked up early. If being picked up by someone other than a parent/guardian, please specify who will be picking up your child. Students will only be released to individuals listed on the emergency card, but the office must be notified prior to pick-up. Students must be signed out in the main office. Again, driver's license or state issued ID is required to pick up a student. We strongly encourage early dismissals be no later then 3:00pm

Thank you to everyone who came out to Giant to purchase food items for the Poquessing Food Pantry! We appreciate your generosity and the support of our Martin Luther King, Jr. Service Project!
