Topeka Elementary

4th graders enjoyed their annual study trip to Sauder Village in Ohio today to continue learning about how life & inventions have developed throughout the Midwest's history. Thanks to all the parent chaperones who joined us!

4th graders at Topeka held their fourth annual Market Day today. As part of their social studies unit, students had to create a business and choose a product to sell to the rest of the school. The students were in charge of picking the price, the quantity of items they wanted to sell, and creating a poster advertising their business. We had bakeries, woodworking shops, artists, and many more. The other students in the school were able to purchase their items with pretend money. We have a lot of creative fourth graders at Topeka!

Thank you to all the families who attended our Family Fun Night in the Arctic last Thursday! We had fun with slime, igloo creations, penguin rafts, catapults, penguin slides and more!

Join us for our Family Fun Night, tomorrow at 5:30!

Last Friday, 1-4 graders had their annual Topeka Fitness Classic! We enjoyed our favorite activities, as well as some new games this year! Thanks Miss Eash for all your hard work in planning this!
