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.

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!
