State Testing Wrap Up
Whew! 3rd graders have completed their first year of state testing. They have been completing practice tests since February, but they were stressed going into the real thing. These kids worked so hard completing these tests. We wrapped up our sessions this past Thursday. As a grade level, because they worked so hard, we are rewarding them by taking them on a celebratory field trip to swim at the YMCA. We are so proud of them . . .
4th Graders are Enjoying Novel Units
The Kansas State Reading Assessments are completed! We are putting away the reading textbooks for the rest of the year. Our students will be reading from novel units the remainder of the school year. Miss Melton’s class is reading James and the Giant Peach. The theme of James and the Giant Peach is that it's never too late to make friends . Even . . .
Narrative Writing
Second grade students have started their last big writing project for the year! This writing project is a narrative piece! It’s time to use our imaginations! Students are posed the question of “What would happen if your chocolate bunny came to life?” We have really enjoyed coming up with all of the crazy things that could happen and getting our rough drafts written out. . . .
1st graders enjoy an extra recess for reaching their March reading goals!
First Grade students worked hard through the month of March to improve their reading skills through Lexia. Each week students had to complete 5 or more units of Lexia. They were excited to have reached their goals and share an extra recess with friends.

EJSHS Science Students Viewed the Eclipse
On Monday, April 8th at 1:35pm science students were released to the football field to view the partial solar eclipse. The maximum coverage for Eureka, Kansas was 89.5% and the students were outside to view it. They noticed the sky was darker and the temperature was cooler. The students were able to use pin-hole viewers they made in science class, the Sunspotter telescope, colanders and their eclipse glasses to safely view the eclipse. . . .
