⭐ Exploring the American Flag! ⭐
At #EakinElementarySchool's Summer Learning Camp, rising 2nd graders in Jenny Holden’s class took a closer look at the American flag, learning how it is designed, what the symbols represent and how it has changed over time.🔍💡
#Students then put their learning into action by creating their own flags, one made of paper and another creative version made with graham crackers and M&Ms!
This hands-on experience helped students connect history, symbolism and creativity in a fun and memorable way. ✨

This week at #SummerLearningCamp at #EakinElementarySchool, Ms. Angela Fuller and her rising 3rd grade class learned about why America is important! Students read an informational passage, answered text-based questions and reflected through writing by answering: “How has America changed from 1776 to 2026?” ✍️📚
For STEAM, students got creative and made Magic Aquariums using Sharpies, a Ziploc bag and white cardstock. The white cardstock served as the “magic flashlight,” bringing their creations to life! 🐠✨
Days like this are a reminder that public schools create opportunities for students to think critically, be creative, explore new ideas and learn together in meaningful ways. From literacy and history to hands-on STEAM experiences, our students are growing, creating and thriving every day. 💙💛
