🔬🎧 Our science lab turned into a game of telephone—but with a twist! Students in Mrs. Kelley's classroom explored how sound waves travel, change, and sometimes get hilariously distorted. Who knew learning about wave transmission could be this fun? 😄📢🌊 #ScienceLab #SoundWaves #STEMfun #LearningThroughPlay #EJEPride #LookEast

🚨 Battleship in the Gym! 🚨
Mr. Flack’s 4th graders set sail in a high-energy game of Battleship during PE! 🛶💥

Some students zipped around on scooters retrieving balls, others guarded their team’s pins like pros, and the rest aimed with precision to sink the ships! 🎯⚓️

Teamwork, strategy, and a whole lot of fun made this game a PE favorite! 💪🏽🔥
