Ahead of #MLKDay, Ms. Menelas and Miss. Kim's 5th grade class at DE completed a project called, "What Would it Look Like if Martin Luther King, Jr. had an Instagram?"
Students first took part in a classroom gallery walk through where they analyzed photos of MLK during the civil rights movement, using them as project inspiration in order to accurately capture what he may have posted to his own Instagram if it were possible when he was alive. #WeAreEI
What a creative project! More photos here: https://eastirondequoit.smugmug.com/Durand-Eastman/2022-23/MLK-Project-MenelasKims-class

Meet Sgt.Ketterer (Retired). Mrs Zielinskiâs and Mrs. Centolaâs class wrote letters of appreciation back on Veterans Day to Sgt. Ketterer, who is a friend of Mr. Roachâs from way back in middle school! Well, we finally got to do our video meeting and he shared about his time in the Army, deployments to Iraq, Bosnia, etc. and he answered questions about military life! He was so grateful for student letters! You can even see them on his wall! Great day! Great role model!
