Eagle Ridge Academy School of Grammar Blog: Spring Happenings

Excitement is in the air at Eagle Ridge Academy! The weather has finally changed (for the better) and the end of the year activities have increased. There are lots of field trips and chances to take learning outside. Read about some of the exciting happening and work being done below.

Eagle Ridge Academy is proud to have a 2^nd Place finisher in the Minnesota Charter Public Schools Essay Writing Contest. Our own Evan N. wrote a delightful essay and was selected to read his essay on the steps of the State Capitol on Thursday, May 9^th. To make the day even more eventful our Lower School Choir Club was asked to sing at the presentation. The event was intended to be held outside, but rain forced it indoors. It seems there is a rule that does not allow singing inside the rotunda at the Capitol. Our choir was able to sing outside as people were entering the Capitol. Evan did a wonderful job reading his essay. After the essay presentations were complete, the students were able to visit Senator Melisa Franzen in her office. She was kind enough to take the students to the Senate Chambers and explain what happens there. It certainly was a day to remember for the students, teachers, parents, and principal. I had never been on the Senate Floor and was honored we were able to visit. See all the great pictures and video of the day below.

Second grade students have been studying about the weather. They have been learning about the different types of clouds. Below are some pictures outside Ms. Hudak’s rooms demonstrating what they have learned about clouds.

Fifth grade students have been reading and writing poems, poems, and more poems. Below are a few of the poems they have written about spring.

Kindergarten students have been working hard on sentences. They are learning parts of speech and have been writing some great sentences. Below are a few of the sentence people they have hanging outside their classrooms.
