It's time to dig out your individualized Ewing Young Book Bags!!

Thanks to the Ewing Young Support Team (EYST), students will continue to use their customized book bags. New students can pick up their book bags on the first day of school, or schedule a time with the office to pick theirs up.

Mr. Wood announced that teachers will be contacting you regarding what things you need to prepare for Hybrid Learning. The one thing that we ask that you provide for school is a set of headphones. We ask that they remain at school so they are available when needed.

• K-2 students please bring over-the-ear headphones
• 3rd - 5th grade students can use either over-the-ear or earbuds.

If you can not provide headphones the school will have a set for your child.

First Graders have been enjoying some fun virtual classroom STEAM activities on Fridays.

We used conversation hearts for a variety of engineering challenges right before Valentines Day. Each student also created a special piece of heart chalk art to share with his or her family. It was so nice to see everyone's smiles, hear their giggles, and watch the fun unfold. The recent snow and ice inspired us to "Build a Snowman" with toothpicks and marshmallows. Students drew a plan, built their design, and then problem solved to get their snowman to stand up tall. There were a lot of creative ideas, and everyone showed true perseverance in getting their design to succeed. It felt good to get in some hands on learning and fun together.
