Student Activities

Students at Eva Gordon are actively engaged in learning beyond the classroom.  

Music is a big part of the educational process for our students.  Each grade level puts on a

production each year under the direction of Mrs. Deana Stone, music teacher.  

 

Students are very involved in developing a love for reading through their library program. 

This is done through stories, art and hands on materials with Mrs. Phillis Waller,

library media specialist. Students also enjoy a variety of activities that extend

beyond the classroom with field trips and on campus special activities.

 

 

Several classes in first grade and a third grade class have been raising Monarch caterpillars that have been making chrysalises and turning into Monarch butterflies.  There are several pictures underneath the poem showing the release of some of the Monarchs.  Below is a poem written by third grade student, Cleo Brown, about Monarch butterflies.

 

"A Butterfly Poem"

Out of the chrysalis comes a butterfly.

It climbs out and goes so high.

They fly their way to Mexico.

They're so poisonous don't you know.

They suck nectar from flowers

and sometimes they do it for hours.

by Cleo Brown
