Last Friday Ms. Quesenberry's class finished their first class novel, The Whipping Boy. Her ELA classes had to help the main characters escape from the castle. Everyone worked in groups to break codes, solve puzzles, and answer reading and grammar questions. Luckily, everyone made it out successfully!
We are late celebrating the classes in each grade level with the best attendance record for August. We will announce September's at the end of next week. Way to go Frye, Dauscha, Whitefield, Buscemi/Dean, and Byars!
Prek has been exploring a ball unit this week. ⚽️ 🏀 🏈 🏐 ⚾️ 🥎
Blair presented her dinosaur puppet she made yesterday to her class. Be sure to bring yours tomorrow! ❤️
Art club on Tuesday kicked off fall with watercolor pumpkin patch paintings. 👩🎨🎨🎃
We had more students bring in the Family Engagement Activity today. Students in first grade shared their puppets and what they learned about dinosaurs at home with their parents! Bring them in tomorrow! 🦕 🦖
Our Read-a-Thon and Carnival is looking for community partners to help us update our school's playgrounds and purchase supplies for the school year! If you and/or your business are interested please reach out to Mrs. Baessler (baesslera@loudoncounty.org) or Mrs. Lane (lanet@loudoncounty.org) for more information.
Congrats to our week 1 Read-a-thon prize winners. We have completed chapters 1 and 2 of "Dinosaurs Before Dark" and these are a few of the students who scored a perfect score on Fridays quiz.
Happy birthday to our September Staff birthdays!

Good afternoon, Eaton families! Here is your Monday Minute for the week of September 25th.
1. On Friday we sent home a family engagement activity you can do at home with your child. We have attached it to the website so you can find the activity in case it didn’t make it home. You would send those back on Friday for your child to share with their classroom if you chose to complete it. https://ees.loudoncounty.org/o/ees/documents/pto/sept.-2023-family-engagement-activity/524728
2. We are entering week 2 of our Read-a-thon fundraiser. Continue to ask your friends and families for donations. We have great prizes this year from slap bracelets, t-shirts, guest announcer spot, surprise field trip, and even a Hover Board and Kart.
3. At this point in the school year all parents should be dropping off their students on the sidewalk, in the car line. We do not have the option for parents to walk up because it begins to impede the flow of traffic and can make it harder for your child to separate when they walk in.
4. The Rocketeer will go home on Friday so be on the lookout for that in your child’s backpack.
5. Lastly, don’t forget to wear orange on Friday to support our Vols!
Have a great week and if we can do anything please reach out.
Bubbles to kickoff our Friday and lots of orange to get ready for Vols football tomorrow! GBO
One of the many things that makes EES great is the people! Our Sunshine Committee coordinated a color potluck yesterday which brightened everyone's day.
Mrs.Gairhan’s mathematicians love working together to solve problems. Today, they practiced division by using counters to make equal groups and arrays! 😉❤️
Come to our Migrant & Multicultural Parent Night on Sept. 21 @ Fort Loudoun Middle School! We will be recognizing the students who successfully exited the ELL program and share resources parents can use to support learning at home. https://www.loudoncounty.org/events?id=22150758
We are always learning and growing at EES, even teachers! Our teachers stayed after school today for two short PD/Ignite sessions. Thank you to Mrs. Malone, Mrs. Hodge, Mrs. Byrd. Mrs. Lufkin, Mrs. Keas, Mrs. Gairhan, and Mrs Hays for presenting to your colleagues.
Mrs. Wiggins 2nd grade STEAM class accepted the cup challenge this morning. They used teamwork and a few supplies to move different sets of marbles between the cups and then stacked and unstacked cups without touching the cups.
Yesterday Mrs. Lufkin's students applied their knowledge of magnetism while in science centers.
Don't forget to read to your pet for 20 minutes each night.
Thank you @myfbclc for helping open car doors on this chilly morning. We appreciate your servitude and starting our students morning off on a bright note.
