March Madness at EFA+:
Each classroom drew a team to cheer on.
301 drew Florida Atlantic University and since they made it to the Final 4, they earned extra PE time and championships rings.

5th graders created timelines about their life, and then presented them to their peers.
1st grade students are working on collecting and graphing data.
During Art Integration, they reviewed two artists they have learned about this year: Yayoi Kusama and Vincent Van Gogh.
Then they voted for which artist was their favorite.
They cast their vote by creating a symbol in the style of the artist they chose, and created a class graph of their votes to show their data.
EFA+ students completed their SmART Bowl today with the help of special guests from the community.
The EFA+ Band and Orchestra presented their concerts today!
They have learned so much this year and each song was beautifully performed.

Congratulations to former EFA+ student, Esther on her vocal jazz award!

The students solved the problem by writing kind, persuasive letters and setting some traps.
Today, Clover brought everything back AND left treats! 🍀
