In Dance, Kindergarten and 1st Grade students read The Rainbow Fish.
Then they created a dance with a beginning, middle, and end based on the story.
They focused on how costumes, lighting, and music can help demonstrate key details like characters, and the setting.
The 5th graders have been working hard on "Paint the Plow".
Let's hope the plow won't be needed any time soon and will just be a unique piece of art. 🙂
Happy Friday!
May your weekend be as joy-filled as our kindergarten friends experiencing the parachute for the first time in P.E.

Teach. Learn. Grow. These are key words that reflect the SFSD theme for 2023-24: Cultivate. This morning students at Eugene Field A+ Elementary spent some time learning (and digging!) with Iron Fox Farm, an urban farm near the school. Thank you, Iron Fox Farm, for tending to the soil, while also nourishing the minds of these future leaders!

Today was Picture Day! Smiles were ready!
Today we had our first MI Exchange!
Students met with their MI Family and created Artist Trading Cards inspired by their favorite Smarts.
MI Exchange is a time when students meet in mixed grade level groups to make connections with students and teachers they may not regularly interact with.
The 4th graders have been using some new and exciting painting techniques in art integration. This is part of their science unit focusing on energy.
They are attempting to answer:
What is energy?
How is energy related to motion?
How can energy/motion be used to create art?
Students in 103 are learning about how structures help living things survive.
They used Word Smart and People Smart skills to partner read. Then they used drama skills to act out their learning.

Kindergarteners took their first field trip of the year and toured the fire station. They learned about firefighters’ gear, tools, and truck, and even got to sit in the fire engine!
Students also learned about fire safety - with their homework being to learn their address, and ask if smoke detectors work at home!
5th graders are exploring the essential question: How do books relate to all different kinds of people?
They are focusing on text to self, and text to world connections through culinary arts (preparation and recipes given in the book from different world cultures).
Kindergarteners work hard on their skills at Independent Reading Stations!
They start the year by learning one letter a day.

In Science, 5th grade students demonstrate how far apart the stars in the constellation, Pegasus, are positioned in space. (They used centimeters, rather than light years.)
They are investigating the focus question: “Where are the stars in space, and how far from Earth are they?”
