One dress up choice for Read Across America today was to dress as Thing 1 & Thing 2 . Here are our Thing 1s and Thing 2s where were caught in the building.






When you show up to a school to work on technology and the Media Coordinator notices you match the day's dress up theme, you end up having your picture posted on the website. We appreciate our Technology Team and how they go with the flow for our shenanigans! Thanks for being good sports! #ALWAYSFUNintheEaglesNest


Oh man are those Thing 1 & Think 2 shenanigans strong in the Eagle's Nest today! We even heard a Thing 4 was bouncing a basketball in a 3rd grade classroom!

Today for Read Across America Day, it was a zoo in the Eagle's Nest! Animals everywhere! Animal characters are the best! (Tomorrow is Thing 1 / Thing 2 day - dress the same as a friend or friends)

Good Luck to our 23-24 Battle of the Books team!!! Elementary competition is today at North Topsail Elementary. Go Eagles!


What a perfect match with the story of The Lorax ... Mrs Womble’s class has been learning about how people help and hurt the environment. We learned that we can help by safely picking up litter and putting it into trash cans. We took a walk around the school and collected any trash we saw.

Lots of Lorax sightings in the "Swomee Swan" nest today! Tomorrow is Read Across America Day so wear animal ears and animal prints for all the wonderful animals in our books. Fiction or non fiction, animals make the best characters!!








BETA Induction will be this Thursday, February 29, 2024 at 5:30 in the Multipurpose Gym for our BETA students and families. Families may start arriving at 5:15. This will be an induction only ceremony so that you can go celebrate with your BETA student!


Here is the Eagle's Nest attendance scoreboard for last week. This week we are celebrating "Read Across America" with special dress up each day. Today was dress like a farmer for "Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?" Tomorrow, is "The Lorax" so wear yellow or orange.









The Eagles Nest is a place of learning and where life long friendships are made. This week's Eagles of the Week were chosen for friendships and the ability to create & maintain positive relationships/boundaries.


Mrs. Simpson's & Mrs. Dunlap's Kindergarten classes also played the Little Pigs and Big Bad Wolf extension activity to celebrate the end of a Wit & Wisdom module! Mrs. Simpson and Mrs. Dunlap both reported all houses were still standing after the Big Bad Wolf visited! #FutureArchitects








More Stewart pics of the Big Bad Wolf not blowing the K houses down!










Kindergarten played an extension activity to celebrate the end of a Wit & Wisdom module! The STEM activity coincided with The Three Little Pigs so the objective was for the K Eagles to build strong houses out of gum drops and tooth picks and the Big Bad Wolf (Ms. Stewart with a hair dryer) would not be able to blow it down! Mrs. Stewart reported all the houses stood strong!



Parents - our lost and found is overflowing! Please come look through lost and found. There are some NICE pieces we are sure you would like your student to keep. :)


These Eagles were caught SOARING in the Eagle's Nest last week! They create & maintain positive school friendships! Keep SOARing! Also, our attendance leader board for last week! Eagles SOAR at school!
