This week at EHS!
Elk Snapshot:
Students in Mrs. Anderson's 3rd grade class began exploring Newton’s Laws of Motion through a hands-on origami frog project. They followed step-by-step directions to fold paper frogs, practicing careful reading and direction-following skills. After creating different frog designs and sizes, students raced them to observe how force and motion affect movement. They had to predict which frog might win and explained their reasoning using evidence from their observations. The project combined science concepts with expository writing and critical thinking in a fun, engaging way.

Mrs. Delaney's first-grade scientists used their observation skills to record properties of a rock. They observed the size, weight, shape, texture, and color of their rock with partners. We learned about proper handling of our science tools needed to complete this investigation, such as, tape measures, scales, and magnifying glasses.

Some visuals from yesterday's competition in Watertown! The high school band members prepare music from January-February for the region's solo & ensemble contest. They choose to work as either a solo or a group (or both!) and have class time to prepare this music together. This is done mostly on their own with guidance from their director.
