Fourth grade students are working hard on a Friday morning practicing their strategies with reading comprehension! #beingallwecanbe
Third grade students had an absolute blast playing place value bingo! It was a fun way to review this important concept. #beingallwecanbe
Kindergarten students were listening to, reading, and acting out the classic Little Miss Muffett nursery rhyme! #beingallwecanbe
HES Families: Please remember that each student needs to have an extra pair of clean shoes for PE. These do NOT need to be a new pair of shoes. We had the gym floor refinished over the summer so we are wanting to keep it as nice as possible. If the extra pair of shoes is going to be a hardship please contact our office staff and we will do our best to support you!
