EHCS Students Visit the Kennedy Space Center

During Brevard County Space Week, our grade 6 students had the opportunity to visit NASA and the Kennedy Space Center to learn about space, technology, engineering, and our history.
One of the favorite activities was the engineering challenge. They had to construct a “bridge” style truss to support up to twelve pounds. They were successful in their attempt and very proud of the teamwork. Two of the students from our school were selected to display their art work entitled “Past, Present, and Future” at the center.
We are very proud of all of our sixth grade students.

Save our Indian River Lagoon!
Students in grade 4 studied the Indian River Lagoon habitat. Next they went on a field trip to investigate this fragile ecosystem. They were very surprised to see the different species of life in our waterway.
This hands on experience will remind them to help preserve our rivers and estuaries in Florida.
About Lagoon Quest
Lagoon Quest is designed to integrate real-life experience with 4th grade curriculum covering Sunshine State Standards in science, social studies, math, and language arts using the rich environmental resources of the Indian River Lagoon. The program enables students to gain an appreciation and awareness of the fragile estuarine environment passing through our community and prepares students to make informed decisions that influence the quality of life in our area.
Lagoon Quest creates a sense of pride and feeling of ownership and responsibility in children so natural treasures such as the Indian River Lagoon will remain healthy and vibrant for generations to come.
Brevard Zoo is grateful to be a part of this unique program and would like to acknowledge and thank the Brevard Public School System for their partnership in the Lagoon Quest program.

EHCS Families Make Lap Blankets for Elderly
Families and students gathered to make “lap blankets” for our upcoming visit to the rehabilitation center for the elderly. These smaller sized blankets help keep legs warm while sitting in mobile chairs.
You can drop donations off in the office until Dec 14th. Our grades 5 & 6 will visit the residents, sing holiday songs, and distribute the blankets on December 15th.
Thank you for teaching children to give…

A Look Back at Red Ribbon Week
We began Monday of Red Ribbon Week with a Math Carnival for grades 3, 4, 5 & 6. Students had to solve questions and earn tickets along the way. One of the favorite activity was the pie throw. Parents helped run the booths and donated awesome prizes and sweet treats. The theme for the day was “Math is a cool choice!”
Spreading FALL cheer to the elderly residents of West Melbourne Rehabilitation Center is a wonderful way to learn about helping others and service during Red Ribbon Week. Our students in grades 3 and 4 prepared song, showed their seasonal spirit and shared a cup of cider with their new friends.
Grades 1 and 2 are hard at work doing math activities. They are learning to be independent and growing in confidence as the use number sense.
Our students in grades 1 and 2 are using Becky Bailey’s Shubert’s BIG Voice to learn how to stand up for themselves and use their words. They are practicing with peers and led our school’s pep rally to promote anti-bullying this week.
“Love can build a bridge”… is the final theme for our Red Ribbon Week. Our grade 1 and 2 students shared a song and motions to this beautiful song. We are very proud of our students for committing to making good choices and saying no to destructive behavior. Let’s continue to support this theme all year!
