2nd graders reviewed their reading vocabulary words with a Quizlet Live game this week. They had to synergize and work together to be the first team to correctly match their vocabulary words with the definitions. It's so fun to see our students get excited and competitive in their review games!

1B students learned about fractions with chocolate chip cookies. Students kept one cookie whole, cut a cookie in half, and cut another cookie in fourths. Students were then given a fraction and had to hold up the cookie pieces that represented that fraction.
Who knew math could be so delicious?!

First and Third grade reading buddies took a pause from reading so first grade could cheer on their buddies as they finish ISASP testing! The buddies picked a positive message to color together and the third graders were able to keep their uplifting message close during testing!

TK students at East Elementary have been talking about shadows as part of their weather unit. They read the book, Shadows by Sharon Coan and learned what makes a shadow. They also checked where their shadows were 4 times throughout the day and recorded where the sun was and what their shadow looked like. This week the students also headed outside to create shadow animals.
TK has been loving the sunshine that creates shadows.

These 2nd grade students are using mini marker boards to segment words. This helpful for our students to see the different parts that a word has and then helps them when they read the word.
East Elementary uses the curriculum Really Great Reading as part of their daily reading instruction. Really Great Reading helps our teachers teach the foundational skills that our students will need to be great readers.
