Zoo-rific Picnic Success!

The bad weather held out for a great day for the Elizabeth Ide Picnic. There were several stations for the students to choose from and I think all the students had a blast. Thank you to all the parents that made the event a success.

Please encourage your children to stay active and healthy this summer, as we will be talking about ways to do that this last week of school in P.E.

Double the Fun!

For the last two weeks of school all the grades will double up their music and gym time in the gym for two classes with MR. K. and Ms. Wyse. This will be for this Tuesday and Wednesday as well as the same two days next week.

Staley the Bear!

This past week Staley the Bear (Chicago Bears' Mascot) and the First and Goal Program visited Elizabeth Ide. Students at all levels learned about the four phases that are important to living a healthy life. Quiz your children to see if they know that Eating Healthy, Drinking Water, Getting Proper Rest, and Exercise are all four important parts of leading a healthy life.

One Goal

As we are in the countdown first and second grades are working on improving our fitness level as we move into the warmer days. Each day students try to do one more than the previous day! This week students are doing Jump Rope Day and Kickball Day.

More Letters!

Last week students in second and first grade were read to for "B" day. This week students will be reviewing dances learned throughout the year for "D" day. Students have finished their teamwork units and have done a great job working with others and understanding the importance of helping each other.
