Our Mother’s Day Out students recently participated in activities connected to the camping theme. Q-tip painting, camp stamps, molding play dough to make a letter “C” for camping, and playing outside on the playground and in the gym are some of the fun these 3 and 4 years experienced.
Macon East K4 and K5 Classes have really enjoyed learning in the outdoor classroom. Ms. Lawrence’s Kindergarten students enjoyed watching the caterpillars in the MEA butterfly garden in the various stages of metamorphosis. Each day following lunch, the students visit the garden to observe any changes. They observed numerous and varying sizes of caterpillars and a chrysalis. They are eagerly awaiting the emergence of a butterfly! The students in Mrs. Mills’ K4 class recently enjoyed hiking around the school on a Scavenger Hunt! They also had fun looking for butterflies in the butterfly garden.

Coach Tim Davenport enjoyed sharing some of his family’s Native American traditions to the Macon East lower school. He brought a talking stick, medicine pouches, clothing, jewelry, a turban that the chief would wear, and dream catchers to show them. The students really enjoyed the hands-on learning and personal stories about his family.
Macon East Academy 4th-6th grade students recently went to Eastern Hills Baptist Church and competed in the AISA Elementary Choral Festival. After completing, students were treated to Krispy Kreme donuts, where they performed for the staff and patrons inside.
Forget Sleeping Under the Stars…our 5th and 6th graders experienced Sleeping Under the Sea! As you can see from the pictures, our students had a wonderful time at the Georgia Aquarium. They were able to not only able to have the best sleeping spot, but they were also entertained by some amazing aquatic animals, a bedtime snack, and fun-filled guided tours. This was a definitely a slumber party to remember!
Macon East Academy Kindergarten students enjoyed reading books written by Dr. Seuss including Bartholomew and the Oobleck. After reading the story, students made their own Oobleck. It was lots of green, sticky fun! They also enjoyed having a “Dr. Seuss” snack which included green eggs and ham, Cat in the Hat cheese sticks, and colored goldfish.
