East Side News

East Side Eagles are focused on being GRATEFUL . Help your child to see the positive in their day! Ask what they are grateful for everyday this month and then record it.

Record what you are grateful for in fun ways:

• Write it on a pumpkin daily
• Write as a family in a fun journal
• Write it on a pantry wall or closet door
• Write it with an expo marker on the window all month
• Record voice memos and send it to other family members

Watch the video below to learn about a K-1 Challenge and how your child can earn a prize!

We are collecting non-perishable food items and paper products to donate to the Ministerial Food Bank. The drive begins Nov. 4th and ends December 12. Please no expired food.

This event with Bomgaars was a hit! What you may not know is all the learning and fun that happened behind the scenes with this event.

• Students collaborated to decide on a design to carve
• The curiosity about which pumpkin a pig would eat first sparked great conversations and strategies of what to add to the pumpkin to entice the pig (marshmallow and treats!)
• Seeds were counted (one class even had over 600 seeds!)
• Students made predictions and shared their opinions

Thanks for joining this fun event- watch the video below for highlights!

~JUST A FRIENDLY REMINDER, THE WEATHER IS CHANGING. IT IS TIME TO BUNDLE UP! PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CHILD/CHILDREN HAVE WINTER COATS, MITTENS, AND HATS WITH THEIR NAMES ON THEM. STUDENTS WILL BE OUTSIDE, UNLESS IT IS BELOW ZERO.

THANK YOU.
