The EFA+ 4th graders took a field trip to experience The Water Festival!
On Tuesday the 2nd and 3rd grade classes presented their concert, "On Top of the World."
This performance featured a full band, singing, dancing, poetry, recorders, and even cup choreography.
Also on Monday, we hosted The All School Art Show: Movement.
Each student from EFA+ had at least one piece of art in the show.
5th grade performed their Monologue Museum during the art show.
5th graders chose a notable person representing excellence in one of the Multiple Intelligences. They researched to learn about their person, created a collection of art work, and wrote a monologue inspired by what they learned.
This project and performance is a culmination of their art integration experience.
Please see the information below about a Supply Drive happening tomorrow:
On Monday, the kindergarten and first grade students presented their Music Informance called, "Movin' Right Along."
An Informance is a learning experience to help students work toward fully polished performances in the future.
They performed songs and a dance inspired by transportation.
This Informance featured a full band, and a special guest narrator.
