To kick off their long division unit, 4th grade students used Cookie Crisp cereal to divide cookies into groups. Using this visual representation helped to create a memorable experience, allowing food to make math more fun and engaging!

Approximately 60 fourth graders were recognized for meeting their AR goals during the first six weeks of school. To celebrate, students enjoyed an outdoor lunch and refreshing ice cream floats. While they receive at least 10 minutes of independent reading time in class each day, they are also expected to read for at least 20 minutes each evening as part of their homework. These students rose to the challenge and succeeded!
Homecoming Week is off to a colorful start! Today’s Color Wars brought out tons of school spirit, and we wrapped up the day with a big group picture on the playground to show off each grade’s colors.

Last week, students at Orangefield Elementary joined children and adults around the world in celebrating creativity, courage, and collaboration through International Dot Day. Inspired by Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot, this event encourages innovation, self-discovery, and confidence.
OES Librarian, Kaycie Donnaud, shared the story with classes and encouraged students to “make their mark” to help make the world a more colorful and wonderful place.

OES Homecoming Dress Up Days are coming up September 29 – October 3!
We can’t wait to see everyone’s creativity and school spirit each day!
This week, Mrs. Wolfford's third graders learned all about how a courtroom works through the reading of the story, "The Trial of Cardigan Jones." To bring the story to life, they toured the Orange County Courthouse, where students met with the Court Coordinator and Judge Mandy White-Rogers. They were able to observe a real courtroom, ask questions, and gain a deeper understanding of how trials are conducted.
Students also put their new knowledge into action during our very own Mock Trial: "The Case of the Missing Candy Bar." Students took on the roles of judge, bailiff, attorneys, witnesses, and jury members as they practiced critical thinking, speaking, and listening skills while connecting literature to real-world experiences. Thankfully, the trial ended with the accused being found NOT GUILTY of taking the candy bar!
It's always a great day to be a Bobcat!
