As part of their language arts enrichment, some 4th grade students have been learning about Amelia Earhart, her accomplishments as a female pilot, and her disappearance. As they gain background knowledge and explore different aspects of her life, they are thinking about coming up with their own theories about how and why she and her plane disappeared that fateful day. Coincidentally, CNN.com published some old photos of her just last week. The 4th grade students were able to see these pictures in class the other day. They thought it was neat to see such authentic, old pictures of a woman hero! If you are interested in seeing the pictures yourself, click on the link below and you will be taken to the article. Enjoy!

K.E.S. Learning Fair is on June 3rd!
Exciting news! The 3rd Annual Learning Fair will be held here at K.E.S. on the evening of June 3rd! The Learning Fair is a wonderful school-wide enrichment opportunity for students in all grades. Students can choose to do a project on just about ANY topic of their choosing and present it in ANY format they wish. It is a chance for students to LEARN more about something in which they are interested. In the past, we have had projects on numerous topics such as ice cream, gymnastics, electricity, how volcanoes form, Derek Jeter, and opera singing, just to name a few. Information and forms for the Learning Fair went home with students last week. So far about 25 students have signed up. If your child would like to participate but has not yet signed up, please send the form back to school ASAP. If you need a new form, contact me. It is a fun night!
