4th Graders at East Elementary had their field trip to Oak Grove Park in Hawarden yesterday. Students were able to learn more about some of the wildlife that lives in that area and explore along the paths through the park. 4th graders even had the option to touch a snake, which some were more excited about than others!

1st graders at East Elementary got to enjoy the beautiful day yesterday on their field trip to Mill Creek in Paullina.

3rd graders in Mrs. Arnold's class not only learned about the Rain Forest, they turned their classroom into one! The third graders then took over the role of teacher and shared what they learned with other classes at East Elementary. Theses students did an amazing job with the classroom transformation and sharing their information!
Great work third grade!

"A" is for Airplane!
Kindergarteners have been counting down the last few days of school with a different letter themed day. On Airplane Day, students were able to make their own airplanes and then take them outside to see how far they could get them to fly!

Partner reading is a great way to improve reading fluency! Each time our students are able to read aloud to someone, they improve their reading. Ask your child to read aloud to you tonight and see how much they have improved from the beginning of the school year.

Mrs. Jansen's third graders shared their extreme weather research projects with Mrs. Ney's first grade class. This was a great opportunity for our students to share their research with others and for the younger students to learn more about extreme weather.
Great job third grade!
