Great work kindergartners!

2nd graders are working on their throwing accuracy in PE with a game called, Monster Ball.
On the command students attempt to throw the small balls at the Monster Ball in order to make it move. Their goal is to try and get the Monster ball to cross the line on the opposing team’s side of the line. If the Monster Ball rolls outside of the designated area – the opposing team’s side will receive one point.
Our students have had such a fun time working on their throwing skills with this upbeat and intense game!

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?!

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.
