April 6-12 is National Library Week! We love our EFA+ Library and Siouxland Libraries.



In Art Integration, 2nd graders created a beaded bracelet to represent a 3 digit number. They used color symbolism for the hundreds, the tens, and the ones. Then they met with a partner and used their bracelets for math work. First they identified the numbers represented on each bracelet. Then if they both had a black band, they added the numbers. If they both had a white band they subtracted the smaller number from the larger number. If they had a mix of white and black bands, they got to choose addition or subtraction.








The 5th graders participated in a lesson called "chair-bata" in Dance. Mrs. Jacobson lead this inclusive lesson based off of Tabata (high intensity interval training).





During the month of March, EFA+ participated in Everybody Reads.
We met our goal of 350,000 books, which means a donation will be made to REACH literacy!
In fact, we surpassed our goal with more than 418,000!
