Mrs. Mejia’s 5th graders enjoy coding Lego robots in STEAM. Thank you to the Shoprat Foundation of Jackson for providing this experience to EJE students in grades 3-6.




Project-Based Learning in action! Our 6th grade students are diving deep into the 5 Themes of Geography by creating their very own "Imagination Nations."
They are meticulously designing their maps and applying concepts like Location, Place, Human-Environment Interaction, Movement, and Region to build a functional society. This hands-on, collaborative work is bringing abstract concepts to life and fostering critical thinking and creativity!
