Students and families are invited to attend and enjoy FREE holiday building workshops on Gingerbread House Engineering and the Science of Toys.

Bring your families and have a little holiday fun to create memories that will last a lifetime!
Congratulations to our 4th and 5th graders for completing the Ninja Jump Rope Challenge! Over the past two weeks (during the P.E. warm-up time), students worked on earning different levels of the challenge by jumping rope that number of consecutive times (10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, and +200).
When we return from Christmas Break, 2nd and 3rd grade students will participate in their own Ninja Jump Rope Challenge. They will work on earning levels 5, 10, 20, 35, 50, 75, 100, 125, and +150 by jumping rope that number of consecutive times.
To help everyone get in the holiday spirit, EES will have our Holiday Fun Dress Up days this week. We can't wait to see all the festive gear!

LOST and FOUND!
Parents, Grandparents, friends, and family,
Please look through the photos of our lost and found items. If something belongs to your child, ask your child to claim it and take it home.
The lost and found buckets are located in each grade level pod/hallway, in the cafeteria, and in the gym.
To help us reunite jackets, hoodies, hats, water bottles, gloves, and more with the student who owns it, please label your child's items.
On Monday, December 11, we will display all the lost and found on the front porch of the school where parents can come claim their child's items.
Before we leave for break, any remaining lost and found items will be donated to charity.
As you do your online shopping, remember to shop through your child's fundraiser link! You can find hundreds of online retailers and a portion of what you spend goes to support our school.
If your family has not participated, it's not too late! Visit SchoolStore.com to sign up today. Your child will earn a prize just for signing up and sending 6 emails inviting family and friends to help.
The 2nd-5th grades have started the Marathon Kids program in P.E. The kids loved it! This program encourages students to move at their own pace (walking, jogging, running) with the goal of increasing their individual physical activity.

Third grade is beginning a new unit starting with rounding. We made color coded number lines to visualize our numbers and then used them to problem solve. We also practiced estimating and rounding with a jumping jacks competition.
3rd Grade did an experiment learning about temperature today. "A Whole Lot of Shaking Going On!" We determined if the temperature of the sand increased after shaking it.
Megan Smith was recognized as the Eastside Elementary Teacher of the Year at the Polk School District Board Meeting last night. We are honored to have Mrs. Smith represent Eastside. She is committed to each student's learning and makes her students feel loved and valued. Congratulations, again, to Mrs. Megan Smith!
