Museum of Illusions
On Thursday, Nov 21, 2024 Mrs. Waye led our school’s SCORE students on an adventure to The Museum of Illusions in Atlanta. This was an engaging and educational experience for our students who were able to interact with an array of hands-on activities that allowed them to explore areas of science, history, art, and more. The students and adults had a blast exploring the diverse exhibits that sent their brains through a rollercoaster of misperceptions that felt so real!!! We would like to give a big thank you to the parents who volunteered their time to serve as chaperones for this unforgettable field trip!!

Youth Vote 2024
On Tuesday, October 18, 2024, East Clayton Elementary held a mock election for its Youth Vote 2024 event. The media center served as the voting precinct where students from kindergarten to fifth grade took on their civic duty to make their voices heard and cast their votes. This was a wonderful opportunity for the students to learn about elections and presidential campaigns via hands-on experience. Fifth grade students served as poll workers ensuring that all the voters knew the rules and their rights. The students voted for actual candidates currently running for president of the United States. When they were done they wore their “I Voted Stickers,” with a sense of civic pride.
Youth Vote 2024
On Oct 2, 2024, the students and staff at East Clayton Elementary were treated to an interactive science presentation. The Science Machine, who believes science is for everyone, is committed to inspiring and educating the next generation of leaders, scientists, mathematicians, innovators and engineers. Decked out in his lab coat and sporting green hair, the Science Machine showed us some of the wonders of science using volunteers from the audience to help him demonstrate. With his demonstrations, the students were able to get a visual representation of what they are learning in class.
The Idiom Challenge
ECE TV has placed a spotlight on idiom's as figurative language. During the news broadcast, students were shown a picture clue of a common idiom. The teacher and students of each class were tasked with figuring out the phrase and its meaning. Each class that correctly figured out the picture clue was entered into a drawing to win a prize.
We would like to say, "Awesome job," to all the classes that solved the ECE News Idiom Challenge. Congratulations to Ms. Cook's class and Dr. Kenny's class for winning the drawing. Who will be the winning classes next time?
