Saturday's snow has us thinking ahead to winter weather. Is your family prepared for the possibility of Late Starts or Remote Learning Days? This week, we'll highlight everything you need to know to prepare for changes in the school day caused by weather.
Do you know someone with a school age child who would love the EFA+ experience?

Part of our EFA+ team traveled to Raleigh, North Carolina to attend the Fall A+ Conference. This was a great opportunity to connect and learn with other A+ schools.
In Art Integration, 4th graders learned about Wassily Kandinsky's Concentric Circles....which happens to be an array!
Then they worked in Kagan Cooperative Learning Groups to create their own. Each group was given a product, they found the factor pairs for that product, and then chose the factor pair to create an array that would best fit their paper. They used paper squares to build the array.
They learned about complementary and analogous color schemes and chose one to inspire their concentric circles on their array.
After the work was completed, it was put on display in R3 Gallery. Then students worked with a partner to view the work and identify; the array, the product, the possible factor pairs, and the color scheme.
After checking out books in the library, students chose to read quietly or build with Keva planks.
Come view the EFA+ plow this Saturday at the Paint the Plow event:
Coat giveaway this Friday!
A community member generously donated pumpkins for our K-3 students to enjoy. 🧡
Second graders made tableaus (frozen pictures) to help retell The Three Little Pigs.
Students worked together to create tableaus about the beginning, middle, and end of the story.
While the older students are working hard on their first PACER endurance running test the kindergarteners ran their first relay race!
They collected Fall “P.E. candy”, sorted the colors with their team, and we decided which team at the most of each color.
Fifth graders have started their fiction writing unit and have enjoyed writing spooky October stories by candlelight.
103 is created camouflage models. Students used a white piece of paper and had to add color and details to camouflage the paper into the photo. This demonstrates how animals and other living things camouflage themselves to survive and hide from predators.
Students from 2nd and 3rd grade created tableaus in drama to learn about visualization, understanding key details in stories or text, and summarizing; all of which are part of their English Language Arts standards.
EFA+ students ran the Fun Run this week!
Thank you to everyone who donated and supported our students!

Students in 102 used clay and other manipulatives to demonstrate how animals use their structures (spines, shells, spikes, etc.) to protect themselves from predators!
