Egg Drop Soup?

Mrs. Lancaster, Mrs. Huskisson and Ms. Vincent challenged their students to design a device that would protect an egg from a fall from the roof of Estes. Here we have some pics of the design process and the egg fall.

Pete the Cat at Estes

If you visited Estes during the first week of school you might have seen some little paw prints on the floor. Don't worry we didn't have juvenile deliquent cats break into the school and run the hallways with paint on their paws. No, we had a special visitor named Pete the Cat come visit Estes. Our Kindergarten students went looking for Pete and read all about him. In the pictures above and to the side you will see Mrs. Manqueros class making their very own Pete the Cat.

In the picture below Mrs. Harralson's class learned how to lace shoes and colored their string with Science droppers.

Way to Go, Khilan

Khilan in Mrs. McKenzie's room was flexing some brain power when I was observing her class. Khilan is just one of many students at Estes who are flexing their brain muscles to help our school become the best in the state!
