I was so impressed with Mrs Barrett's 5th graders during this Book Club. The writing, verbal responses, the respectful debating was awe inspiring for 5th graders! I felt like I was listening to a bunch of college kids. And. That is not an overstatement! 👏👏👏

It was a Bills Day today at DE! Students created #3 badges in support Damar! One even made one for Mr Roach for his Dolphins Jersey. I was more than happy to wear it! Damar continues to touch so many in such a positive way, even 3rd graders! #compassion #kindness #DEKidsRock

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

We celebrated our DE PURPLE STUDENTS OF THE MONTH yesterday! Work Hard, Have Fun, Do Good!
Empathy was our theme for the month of December!
Meet Sgt.Ketterer (Retired). Mrs Zielinski’s and Mrs. Centola’s class wrote letters of appreciation back on Veterans Day to Sgt. Ketterer, who is a friend of Mr. Roach’s 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!
