Mrs. Pierson’s 3rd grade class was the first group of students to explore the new maker space classroom at East Elementary! We’re excited to see what new learning opportunities this space will provide for students.





Kindergarten has been learning about letter Jj and also exploring a travel theme. We talked to Mrs. Strnad's daughter, Sally, in Japan via GoogleMeet on Thursday morning at 8:15, 10:15pm Japan time, to learn about travel in Japan. She also shared how to write each of our names with one of the Japanese alphabets (there are 3!). Following her visit we attempted eating our morning snack with chopsticks, used tissue paper to make a picture of Japanese cherry blossoms, and worked in a booklet about Japan to learn about the flag, money, Mt. Fuji, bullet trains, etc. It was a fun "trip"!

It was great to welcome kiddos and parents to kindergarten visitation today. We can’t wait to have you in our building all day next year.





Mrs. Parry’s 2nd graders learned in Art that they can tint & color mix white model magic clay with magic markers (sorry parents 🤷🏻♀️ lol). Their minds were blown!! 🤯 but they created some really cool & colorful figurines!!





Looking towards the last six and half weeks of the school year and our COVID protocols, we are seeking input from patrons as we move forward in our continued efforts to keep in-person school and activities taking place to wrap up the school year. Keeping in mind that if things take turn in a different direction in regards current case trends, prom, graduation and the length of the school year could be affected negatively. Please complete the survey at this link regarding COVID protocols.
If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to Mr. Lyder at anytime: llyder@usd109.org or 785-527-5621.
