East End Intermediate third-grade classes had an outdoor math lesson today - Easter Egg Math Scoot! Students from different classes joined together to solve fraction problems. Students collaborated and rose to the challenge, while having fun!
Last night was a big night for 5th graders at East End Intermediate! Students put on a music performance for their families, led by our music teacher, Ms. Burris. Following the performance was the Michelangelo Art Gallery, put together by our art teacher, Mrs. Raney. Ms. Walters showcased our 5th-grade GT students' businesses and prototypes. The finale of the night was the Live Wax Museum. Students have been working on their wax museum project for months in Mrs. Whitehead's class during Foundational Fridays as an extension research project. Our students and staff have worked hard for the past several months to make this night a success. Thank you to all the families that came out to support our students!
Guest speaker, Mrs. McConkie, taught art appreciation skills and economics to Mrs. Hardin's class by analyzing "La Feria en Reynosa". They learned how to create their own paper art, what goods and services are available at a Mexican street fair, and how to do several dances. Soaking in some fun culture!
