East Pointe Elementary School

East Pointe 3rd and 4th Grade Gifted Program students presented their research of a famous person at the Gifted Program Family Night held at the GHS Student Union on Tuesday. Students created a living wax museum as they portrayed the famous person they had researched. 💙🩶🤍

Thank you Luck E Strike and our awesome PTO for donating door prizes for those who attended our fishing derby! We had some happy and lucky kids! 💙🩶🤍

🎣 WOW… what a REEL-y amazing night!! 🐟💙�Our Fishing Derby was one for the books, and it wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible families, staff, and community showing up BIG!
From first catches to big smiles, archery shots to scavenger hunt adventures—memories were made all around the lake! 🌿☀️
We loved seeing so many of you out enjoying the outdoors, cheering each other on, and making connections that matter. THAT is what it’s all about!
A huge THANK YOU to Arvest Bank for providing food for our families and THANK YOU to the Janet Huckabee River Valley Center for hosting such an incredible event!!

We showed appreciation for our students with active duty military parents Friday morning with a donut party. They had a great time hanging out with their friends! Thank you to our PTO for providing the donuts and several parents who donated drinks, plates, and napkins for the event. Special thanks to Nikita Richmond and Lauren Shown for helping us serve and make the breakfast go without a hitch. We were thrilled to honor this special group of students. Thank you students and families for your service!

We honored all of our military kids this week by calling their name over the intercom and giving them a certificate. We also read a military fact of the day about our local armed forces. Thank you families for your service! ❤️🤍💙

Mrs. Babb’s class had some amazing 3rd grade chick 🐥 experts visit her first graders to teach fun facts and their observations of the hatching process! My students were SO excited and loved having them come down for a fun, hands-on learning experience! Fun fact- two of those sweet experts were my firsties and it made my teacher heart smile BIG seeing them teaching and interacting with my current students!❤️

Family Fishing Derby tomorrow!!Don’t miss out!! 🎣🐠🐟🌭

Congratulations to this weeks Student Spotlight recipients!! 💙🩶🤍

Yesterday, first grade had a guest speaker from Luck E. Strike ahead of our Fishing Derby Family Night next week. Luck E. Strike is providing a super fun activity for our classes. Each student was given the opportunity to design a lure, then we voted on all the designs. The winner from each class will have their lure designed for the class! Our classroom winner was Reece Grouse! Thank you Luck E. Strike for this amazing, engaging experience!

Mrs. Scantling’s class had some awesome third grade representatives from Mrs. Kelton’s class come and teach us all about baby chicks and allow us to experience some of the chicks they hatched in their class!

Students are still learning and exploring along with Pumpkin Jack thanks to their experience earlier in the year with Allisyn Stratton from the Sebastian County 4H Organization! The class has been documenting Jack’s changes since October, and they have learned so much about the decomposition process and the pumpkin life cycle!

Just a reminder to wear purple tomorrow!! 💜💜💜

The chicks are on the loose in 3rd grade! 🐣After patiently waiting 21 days for our eggs to incubate, they are finally hatching! This has been such an exciting, hands-on way for our students to learn all about the chicken life cycle.Tomorrow, our 3rd graders will be taking their chicks around the school to visit other classrooms and share everything they’ve learned. We’re so proud of their knowledge and can’t wait for them to teach others! 💛

This week in 3rd grade, we’re diving into the world of fishing! 🎣Students are learning all about lures and what they mimic. We took a trip to the creek to explore the macroinvertebrates living in our local waters and discovered that these tiny insects are exactly what many fishing lures are designed to imitate!Today, we connected our outdoor education across the curriculum—bringing fishing into math, science, literacy, and even our camp classes. Hands-on learning at its best!It was a great day to be in 3rd grade!
