Eisenhower Elementary

1st graders in STEM have been using a campfire to learn about reversible vs. irreversible matters, along with campfire safety. They coded their own simulated campfire to roast marshmallows on!



A campfire made of paper and lights sits on the tiled floor of a school classroom. A group of young kids rush around it holding marshmallows on roasting sticks.

Second graders had a special visit from children's book author Debra Magdos, who is also the grandma of one of our students! She shared her book "The Not Very Scary Monsters: Please Try!" and described the experience of being an author with a published book. The students loved hearing from her!



A woman in a pink cardigan sits in a classroom of elementary students and holds up a picture book. She points to the pages and reads to the students. She holds her arm around a student and faces the camera.

5th graders had a great time at Camp Tecumseh! They worked on foundations where they were challenged to work on their leadership, trust, communications, problem-solving, and self-confidence through challenging, team-oriented exercises.



Students stand together in a sunny paved area surrounded by trees. A young boy navigates a low ropes course accompanied by two adults in helmets. Teams stand on wooden boards supported by ropes in their hands. A picture looks down the hill of a campsite, showing a paved trail, a lake, and some buildings against a sunset.

Mrs. Fritz's 3rd graders had a Viking celebration to honor the end of their CKLA unit! They crafted their very own Viking helmets and longships.

Fourth graders recently enjoyed a great field trip to the YMCA's Camp Triangle Hills! Students climbed the Y Wall, explored the high ropes course, and embarked on a guided hike. It was a great day of outdoor fun!

Our Photography Club has wrapped up for the year, and students proudly submitted photos that showcased the skills they had learned throughout the year. These skills included lighting, perspective, framing, depth, and rule of thirds. Enjoy these photos by our talented students!
