This week's Class of the Week is Mrs. Gunderson's Tues/Thurs 4K Class. Mrs. Gunderson's friends are so excited to be back after their winter break. They have been having a great time learning about the ocean, the letter Oo and the color blue! They had lots of fun with the Nursery Rhymes Little Boy Blue and Jack and Jill. They painted an enormous ocean and filled it with jellyfish, starfish, octopus, and whales. They loved learning about the animals of the ocean! Keep up the great work 4K friends! #fes #EaglesSoar

Mrs. Reinke's Class teamed up with Mrs. Williams-Richter and Ms. Ferguson to create special gifts for their parents. The 2nd graders worked very hard to make their butterfly ornament using Milkweed seed pods and were excited to share their lovely creations at home. #fes #EaglesSoar
