Student Council and the new Duck House!!!


The Student Council learned about some ducks that return to the courtyard each year.  They decided wanted to make a house for them to stay safe.  The students looked at various designs and provided a few examples to Steve Hunt, who works in the MERSD maintenance department.  Steve built the house and delivered it to EES.  These are the proud Student Council members pictured with the new EES duck house.  
Third grade student, Morgan Etna, wrote a poem about the famous EES ducks.  We are anxiously awaiting their arrival!

Third Grade Art Class!

Here are some pictures from the Cape Ann Museum visit yesterday.  Liza Browning came to work with the third graders in the art room and introduced them to the Folly Cove Designers.  She showed them how the Designers made different prints and then the students made their own prints.  She will be back on Friday to work with the third grade  students in their classrooms and talk with them about Virginia Lee Burton,who was also a Folly Cove Designer.
