A Gem on the Eastside

Finding a Gem on the Eastside “As a family we can say that we highly recommend Eastside Christian School. As part of our recent move to the Bellevue area we were seeking a private Christian school for our daughter, who was entering Kindergarten. We researched the schools on the Eastside and have been so grateful to find this gem. We have been so impressed with ECS, from the Enrollment Director to the Principal to the teaching staff. Our daughter tends to be extremely shy and quiet and the ECS environment has really allowed her to blossom and come out of [...]

May The 4th Be With You

"May The 4th Be With You!" Mr. Hwang brings great creativity to his middle school math lessons whenever possible, and today was no exception!  Transforming into "Darth Pythagoras," he set out to recruit ECS math students for a new order, that of "Rotational Symmetry." The students' brilliance shined brightly as they joined in the challenges of the day: Data Decryption The Order of Rotational Symmetry has received precious encrypted data on notable leaders of the past.  The students were tasked with decrypting this information and making sure it got into the right hands… Order Insignia (designs by Anthony Herrera) Darth Pythagoras requested [...]

Hello From Our Homes to Yours

Hello From Home The ECS Staff wants you to know how much we miss you!  We think of you daily, and pray God will bring an end to the coronavirus so we can see you again soon!  In a community that is as tight-knit as ours, the separation seems especially difficult some days, but we know that our strength comes from the Lord during these sometimes lonely days. We hope this little video will help brighten your spirits today.  Our chapel theme this year has been about being "Kingdom Builders," ones who build our lives upon God's firm foundational truths.  [...]

What We Miss About School

What We Miss About School Our first graders were asked to share their opinions about what part of the school day they miss the most while doing distance learning at home during COVID-19, and why they miss it. Some of the children miss doing math or science, while others miss chapel, PE or art, but the thing they miss most is being with others. Poignantly they wrote about missing their teachers and their friends, and their hope that we will one day see each other again. Safe to say, we ALL look forward to that day and pray it comes [...]

Online Learning Success!

Online Learning Success! Who would have thought just a couple of months ago that this would be our new normal? All of our teachers and families are working hard, embracing the changes that mandated school closures have brought our way.  This situation has taken many of us outside of our comfort zones, but despite the stress and anxiety we are off to a good start.  Our teachers have shown amazing creativity and showered our students with love as they've made the transition to provide education online.  Within just one day after closing our building, our middle school teachers had successfully [...]

4th Grade Writing: Valentine Memories

Students from one of our 4th grade classes have worked diligently this week to complete their writing assignments, in order to give them to their parents in time for Valentine's Day.  The class was asked to write about a favorite memory, and their work is being graded (like many other writing assignments) on a rubric of clear expectations their teacher gave them.  Many of these writing expectations are core standards we expect in all of our classrooms, including neatness, correct spelling, appropriate grammar, vocabulary, and the inclusion of sensory details. To help make the assignment fun, their teacher read a [...]

Serving Our Community

Serving Our Community "The ECS Middle School service trip is always one of my favorite parts of the school year! The seventh and eighth graders get to serve others while also spending quality time with their friends. This year we packaged 45 homeless care kits with socks, toothbrushes, toothpaste, chapstick, granola bars, and more! We even included a Bible and a personalized note. My favorite part of the day was praying over the kits. It gave us a chance to pray for whomever would receive our bag. Praying made what we were doing feel more special and meaningful. We ended [...]

STEM: Environmental Science in 4th Grade

Mr. Pan’s students have been studying environmental science in his fourth grade classroom this fall.  During a recent lesson, students were asked to determine if temperature changes affect the properties of yeast and, if so, to describe their observations of those effects. In the first experiment, students evaluated the effects of yeast and sugar mixed with cold water, warm water, and hot water.  They were asked to describe their observations in writing for each water temperature and summarize their findings.  The class also experimented with yeast that had been frozen or baked and then mixed with sugar and water, comparing the [...]
