4th grade science students have started a worm farm and have planted seeds, as well as taking part in daily science activities and labs. Watch for more to come throughout the year on the progress of their worms and plants... :)

EWIS teachers utilize the classroom walls to enhance the learning environment. Our students' attention was drawn to the walls this week to show them how they can make a connection that will form a memory for them to use on assignments and as part of their collaborative conversations. Here are some examples of what students' see on a daily basis that directly connects to their learning.

Attendance Matters!

Not all classrooms have four walls. Today, some of our 5th grade science students got to enjoy the outdoors while still completing work with their teacher. :)
