3rd Graders having been doing a 12 Day countdown to Christmas break and recently they had an experiment day. For one of their experiments they did a candy cane experiment, where they put candy canes into water, oil, vinegar, milk, and Mt. Dew. Surprisingly, the candy cane in the water dissolved the most. There was only a sliver left after a 1/2 hour! #EaglesSoar #fes

This week’s Class of the Week is Ms. Schwingle’s 2nd Grade Class. These second graders have been busy with many activities this year! In reading, the students have been learning about different kinds of text. Last week, they took a look at poems. They looked at the importance of word choice, expression, and rhythm when reading or writing a poem. In math, they have been learning and using many strategies to solve 2-digit addition and subtraction problems. They also have been learning to identify coins and counting out different coin combinations. This week, a special visitor came to visit Ms. Schwingle’s classroom. The “Grinch” has been sent here so that he can learn about kindness. The students are showing the “Grinch” good behavior and ways to be kind to others. This is a great class to learn from, Mr. Grinch! Keep up the great work 2nd graders!

The wrestling @ Kansas City for this weekend is canceled.

LAST CHANCE: Is your child missing a sweatshirt, jacket, shoe, glove, or hat? If so, please check the lost and found table outside of the elementary school office. There are a lot of items on the table that have not been claimed. Anything still on the table will be donated to the local thrift store during Christmas break. #fes #EaglesSoar
