Harrison East Elementary
• Harrison East 4th graders completed anti brain freeze packets for January. Activities involved math, science, writing, and creating a snowman. Students enjoyed acting out poetry about snowmen and treating a couple of grades to a snowman parade.
• During the past couple of weeks, Mrs. Starr's 5th grade 21st Century Enrichment students researched a career in which the objective was to provide service for others. After the career was researched, the students had to take their findings and turn it into a play that depicts the career. The play was then turned into a puppet show. The puppet shows had to be at least 10 minutes in length. The students had to make their own puppets. This week they performed their puppet shows for the Pre-school classes.
• Mrs. Luann’s preschool class has been doing a book study of The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats. Some of our activities included: painting a snowy scene, sequencing the events of the story, a science experiment with snow, writing letters in pretend snow and making a snow storm in a jar. They have really enjoyed it.
