Ms. Nafegar's 2nd grade class spent time learning about Ancient Greek Civilizations whose contributions can be seen in many areas of our lives today. Ms. Nafegar even dressed as a Greek Goddess to engage her students and get them excited about learning!
On the screen behind Ms. Nafegar, Pheidippides is beginning his run to Sparta to fight for the Athenian generals. The boys in the class are pretending to hold their spears since 7 year olds were of age to go to war. The girls in class were wiping their tears because they were sad that all the men and boys were leaving to go to war. These students are stretching their brains and learning so much this school year!

Good Luck Swim & Dive on your season! Check out their schedule and make plans to see them in action! https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/2854/ECISD/4731445/Swim.pdf

Advanced floral design students spent the day delivering homecoming mums and garters to Life Skills students at Myatt, Hutchins, Northside, Middle School, and High School campuses.

200 first year floral design students in Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Zahn’s classes constructed a 19 foot mega mum in honor of homecoming week. A special thanks to the Ag Mech students for cutting the 4ft plywood circle to make the top, the Derby Dolls for the pom poms, and Mr. Jeff Balcar and crew for getting it hung in the gym and then moving it to the football field for the game. It truly was a team effort and we have the best RICEBIRD team! Come see it in person on Friday at the 8:30 am pep rally! And, see behind the scene here: https://www.canva.com/design/DAGR3ajI7os/pS4I1Pw6_bafdIx-KrGRSA/watch?utm_content=DAGR3ajI7os&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=editor

It was a Fun Neon Day for Homecoming Week!
At Hutchins, students and teachers were shining BRIGHT!
Meanwhile, at Northside, Mrs. Taylor’s 4th graders dove into a Homecoming Escape Room adventure! They read passages and tackled questions like pros to break free. And let me tell you, they had a blast glowing under those black lights!

Ms.Treumer at Hutchins got some friends to sponsor her class to receive a new book each month this school year. The kids received their first book last week thanks to this month's sponsor, Terry Rab, a paraprofessional at Hutchins.
The students were so very excited to be able to take a book of their very own home to keep. They will now use this opportunity to learn about writing Thank You notes by sending one to the sponsor each month.
