So many wonderful end of year activities at EES!

Camp Merrowvista, soggy 5th grade students

What a view!!!!

Kindergarten Literacy Event.....the theme was called Camp Reads a Lot.  Students went fishing for sight words, played Moose with cvc words, made picture postcards, read under the stars with books from the lending library, sat around the campfire and learned chants, and hopped on river stones to make words.  Each student received a backpack filled with items that they used during today's event to reinforce reading, writing, listening and speaking skills during the summer. 

Officer Richie Grant. Thank you to the PTO Auction!

Officer Grant seems to have arrested his sister!   

Great musical assembly.  The chorus did a GREAT job!

The EES band really rocked it!

Thank you to PTO for funding the annual visit from Giles LaRoche.  The second grade students really enjoyed learning about his work!

Giles shares his artwork.  He cuts paper and then photographs it as illustrations into his books.  

Can you believe this is all cut paper!?!?

...and this???

One of the BEST parts of my job....first grade authors sharing their books with me!

Third graders really enjoyed the Museum of Fine Arts....and so did Mrs. Doherty!

The Emperor's Parade

E.E.S. Got Talent!!

Thank you to Mr. Burnett and Mrs. Lynch for organizing such an outstanding talent show.   We have some very talented and creative 4th and 5th grade students!

I was so proud of MERSD today!

Mr. Carpenter introduces the MERHS musicians to our young students! 

The Soundwaves perform.  They were AMAZING!  See if you recognize any former E.E.S. students?

The incredible Soundwaves!

Axel, former E.E.S. student, sings a solo.  The students were captivated!

The MERSHS band played for the students!  They were incredible! Such young talent!!!!!

It was great seeing so many former E.E.S perform!  What a special day for students and staff at E.E.S!   Thank you to the H.S. music department and Mr. Carpenter for making this happen!  

Some GREAT first grade readers!

Without a doubt, one of the best parts of my job!  Working at my desk, and having three awesome first grade readers do reader's theater (Frog and Toad, Cookies) for me!  Such a great way to build fluency in their reading and help them develop confidence.  Thank you Miss Kelley for sending them down to "interrupt" my work!!!   

Tess said the best part of readers theater is working together.  Kiki said, I like to act out the story.  Hannah likes to work together to become better readers!  

MERSD Elementary School Art Show
