2003 - 2004 Year in Review
Thank
You Nestle!
What a great time the kids had at Nestle Farms on Monday, June
14. The K/1 class made chocolate chip cookies and played while
the 2/3 class watched birds and the 4/5 class went hiking. We
then gathered for lunch. On behalf of ERMA the 5th graders presented
the Nestle employees with a gift for all of their support. After
lunch our students went on a treasure hunt, played with puppies,
and watched a dog show. It
was a fun-filled day.
Moving Up - Congratulations!
What a great way to end the school year. The Eagle Rock Class
of 2004 is super! We will miss you next year. The ceremony included
a gift of a wooden bench from the 5th graders to Eagle Rock.
This is Mrs. Taylor's first graduating class. Way to go!
ERMA would like to also thank CHS's Horticultural Class. They
assisted with the balloons! Please keep them in mind for your
floral and balloon bouquet needs.
 Square
Foot Backyard Presentations
The kids did a great job presenting their 4+ month long Square
Foot Backyard project on June 10. Every presentation was well
laid out. Some were even done in PowerPoint. What a great way
for the younger kids to see what the older kids can do given
the same directions.
High Tea at ERMA
ERMA is introducing the Brangwin
High Tea for the 2004 - 2005 school year. Students choose
and read at least 10 books of the High
Tea Book List. These books are chosen as nominees from
the Sasquatch Reading Award book nominees of the Washington
Library Media Association and from the Young Readers Choice
Award Nominees in association with the Pacific Northwest Library
Association.
Family Surprise Night
 Wow,
what a difference a year makes. Well, actually nine months. Mrs.
Taylor's class prepared a night full of activities on June 1
to showcase their work. The kids made bread and used honey from
the bees in their classroom as a snack. It was great. The kids
read books, talked about their favorite science
kits, played math games, and many other activities.
 
Field Day 2004 
Fun was had by all! Thanks Coach Paige for planning this great
event. We were all a little wet but again, it is the Northwest.
No big surprise. Kids had a wonderful time!
Make Fish Out of Pop Bottles
 What
can you make out of used 2-liter pop bottles? Ask Mrs. Taylor's
class and they will tell you fish! The kids had a great time
painting the inside of the bottles with bright colors. They were
all very cute!  Thank
you Grandma Aitken for sharing this wonderful art project.
Be sure to stop by the District Office in June! All month ERMA
will be displaying the Fish and other work our kids have done.
Kids See Snoqulamie Falls through Native
Eyes
 On
May 20, ERMA students visited Snoqualmie Falls and were allowed
to go down in front of the falls and experience smudging and
stories from Roger Fernandes. Read the entire story in our May
Newsletter.
Last Volunteer Academy Session Held
 The
last session was held on May 26, 2004. We played ERMA Jeopardy.
Some teams did better than others. But fun was had by all. Wow,
did we learn a lot from attending the sessions. Thank you to
the Staff for taking the time to help the parents with volunteering
at ERMA. The parents are all ready to
volunteer next year. What a great place to be!
