The 4th grade scientists at TES have been learning all about the inner workings of living things throughout the month of October. First, they completed an investigation that inspected several types of flowers in classrooms where they learned how to identify a variety of plant structures. Then, with the support of over 20 family members and THS high school students, nearly 100 4th grade students gathered in the MP room in small groups to dissect squids under the direction of their teachers, Tim Edmonds, Annika Johanson, Becki Perez and Mishauna Ricker. This is a core memory for Tenino Tigers and this year's students did a fantastic job of being focused and responsible scientists through the entire experience.
Let's finish #NationalPrincipalAppreciationMonth strong!! Up first, Mrs. Van De Wege at Tenino Elementary!
