SPOTLIGHT ON EARLY LITERACY AT CES: Kindergarten students at Clinton Elementary School are focused on building their literacy skills! Students participated in a “write the room” activity to practice writing “CVC” words (words that have a consonant, vowel and consonant). Students also worked together on digraphs. They are learning about letter teams that work together to make a single sound.
AN INTRODUCTION TO CHROMATOGRAPHY AT JES: Ms. Walsh’s 5th grade science classes at Jackson Elementary School developed and used a chromatography test to analyze and determine the different food coloring substances in a mixture. Hands on, project-based learning is a key component of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) learning in East Feliciana Public Schools!
TAKING FLIGHT IN AFTERSCHOOL: Middle grade students in the 21st CCLC EF Accelerate Afterschool Program are experiencing hands-on Black History through their participation in the project-based Flying Classroom, a STEM curriculum from Captain Barrington Irving, the first Black man and youngest person to fly solo around the world.

From tank to table! 🌿✨
Students at the East Feliciana STEAM Academy harvested a crop of fresh, crisp lettuce—grown through their aquaponics system! Three different varieties were picked, prepped, and served the same day in garden salads for lunch. 🍽🥗
Seeing students take part in growing and harvesting their own food is incredible—it deepens their connection to what’s on their plate and highlights the importance of sustainable, hands-on learning. 💡🌱
Amazing job, EF STEAM team! 👏 #FutureFarmers #Aquaponics #HandsOnLearning #GrowingOurFuture #SchoolGrownSalads
FOOD SCIENCE AT CES: The 5th grade science class at Clinton Elementary School conducted a stability test by adding different texture ingredients (flour, cornstarch, and lecithin) to the oil and vinegar mixture to see which additives will create the most stable mixture. Can you tell which mixture is more stable Students learn that ingredients that allow normal unmixable liquids to stay mixed are called emulsifiers. Students are still on the journey to creating their very own flavorful salad dressing!
