Dolphin Dancers sponsered by Ms. Johnson

This after school activity is a chance for children in the grades of 4th and 5th, to learn different styles of dance. The students have had many opportunities to show off their skills. We have been invited every year to perform at the districts Freedom Trek and occasionally at school events. We have performed and learned hip-hop, tap, line dancing, stepping, and salsa.

I have been dancing since I was 3 and dancing is a passion of mine. Mrs. Johnston and Mrs. Park have been a wonderful support to me this year.

This year we will be performing tap and hip-hop at a Barnes and Noble in Champions and also at Freedom Trek. Come out and support our hard working and talented dancers.

Eiland Waves is the opportunity for students in the grades of 3rd, 4th, and 5th to learn how to play percussion instruments. Students will learn to play drums, keyboards, and auxiliary percussion instruments.

Participation in this group is dependent on passing grades and all E’s and S’s in conduct. The group meets on Thursday afternoons from 3:30-4:30 PM in Ms. Howard’s room, rm 106.

I have been playing percussion since 6th grade and I have learned a lot of discipline through the art of playing percussion. In learning this craft I have developed my passion in music with laying down beats and creating grooves. I hope to instill in my student’s that music can be both fun and rewarding while still being educational.

Eiland Dolphin Drama

Eiland Dolphin Drama is a group of energetic and talented students who participate in a Christmas Performance each year. They learn stage presence, props and scenery, how to project and become the character they have been chosen to portray.

The Christmas Performance this school year, 2008-2009, is called “Santa Who?”.

The Drama students showcase their singing, dancing, and acting talents.

If you are a student in grade 3, 4 or 5 who likes to read and loves to have fun, the “Eiland Book Club” is for you. We meet on Tuesday mornings at 7:30 in the library. Members choose books they would like to read and plan activities to go with their readings. This is Eiland’s newest club and we are looking for new members. If you are interested see Mrs. Petrie, Ms. Gillingham or Mrs. Reed. Upcoming activities include choosing a name for the club, designing a t-shirt, and picking the book we will be reading in January.

This club, designed especially for our younger students, focuses on ways to help our environment and ensure a "greener" tomorrow.

This organization allows our 4th and 5th grade students to hone the leadership skills they will need for the future.
