Our AMAZING Kindergarten and First grade students have been working on improving their locomotor skills (walking, running, jumping, hopping, galloping, sliding, skipping, and marching) in P.E class. Over the last two weeks, each student earned a LOCOMOTOR LEARNERS LICENSE (Kindergarten) or a LOCOMOTOR LICENSE (First Grade).
Great job to our Second and Third Graders! They were very engaged during our NINJA JUMP ROPE CHALLENGE. Students worked to achieved each level of the challenge by jumping rope a consecutive number of times. Students signed off on levels 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 75, and 100 as they were achieved.
Way to Go! Fourth and Fifth Grade students practiced their listening skills and improving reaction time during our P.E. Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Bag (Bean Bag) Challenge. Students paired up with a bean bag on the floor between partners. Students listen to and follow directions called out by teachers to put their hands on their own head, shoulders, knees, and toes. If students heard “bag”, they quickly grabbed the bean bag. Students enjoyed the challenge. New partners were assigned after a few rounds of the game.

On this Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, Eastside would like to recognize a special officer, Carey Atkins. Officer Carey works hard to patrol the halls, keep us safe, and loves these kids. He has even been known to slip a ring pop or sour straws to someone having a rough day. We are so thankful for his advice, his friendship, and his heart for the kids.
IMPORTANT! Based on conversations with our Local Emergency Management office regarding the potential for severe weather tomorrow, Tuesday, January 9, including flash flooding and high wind gusts, Polk School District is delaying school two hours to allow our bus drivers/riders and student drivers to navigate their daily routes in the daylight. We apologize for any inconvenience but will always make decisions in the best interest of our students and staff, keeping safety our first priority. Thank you for continuing to support us in our efforts.
