TAG Guest Speaker Through Zoom
5th grade TAG students had the opportunity to be on a ZOOM call with Michelle Rathgaber, an Archeologist from the Arkansas Archaeological Survey! We learned about what archaeologists do and artifacts found in Arkansas that tell about the history of our state. What an awesome experience! #EESlegacy #GreenbrierProud

4th grade dialogue
Ms. Martinez’s fourth-grade literacy is learning all about dialogue…with a nice view and great weather! Students are learning how to correctly punctuate dialogue depending on where the speaker tag is in the sentence. With enough practice, students will potentially build the confidence to use dialogue more in their writing prompts! #EESlegacy #GreenbrierProud

Eastside goes unplugged!
Eastside Unplugged goes unplugged and we are so excited! Research reveals correlations between excessive screen time and dysregulation, lower levels of cognition, and depressive symptoms in children. It is our mission to raise awareness of the impact of excessive screen time by promoting healthy habits for our students, including "unplugging" and spending time engaged with peers doing hands-on activities. We promise to value your child's brain development and be an advocate for their growth! Stay tuned for updates tomorrow on all the exciting learning taking place.

Compass of the Week
Mrs. Daniels passed the Compass of the week to Mrs. Hogg! She said, "National Geographic describes a compass as one of the most important instruments for navigation. Our school could not stay on course without Mrs.Hogg. She provides the students and the teachers with tools that help us all navigate calm and rough waters. Mrs. Hogg spreads kindness and compassion like confetti!! Eastside is blessed to have her as our school counselor." #EESlegacy #GreenbrierProud

Tops and Bottoms
Students in kindergarten learn the parts of a plant and first grade builds on that by learning the function of each part. 🌱 Mrs. Lane hooked her students into their plant unit with Tops and Bottoms and a celery experiment. Students are already predicting that the leaves are turning the color of the water because the water is somehow traveling up the stem! 👩🏻🔬

Relationships First!
A huge focus for the first few weeks of school is to build relationships between the adults in the building and our students. We know that this is the first step to learning! We would love for our families to ask their child each day “who made a difference for you at school today?” Sometimes it is their teacher, but sometimes their answer will completely surprise you!

3rd-grade semantic gradients
Clutter Mess Disorder Confusion Destruction Chaos Semantic gradients are a great way to deepen students' understanding of related words! Today, 3rd-grade readers warmed up their brains by trying to organize words from the least amount to the greatest amount of "disorder", one of our newest vocabulary words. We even tossed in a few antonyms at the end to enrich our discussion! #eeslegends #GreenbrierProud
