May OES Lunch Visitors Schedule!
Pre-K has learned about insects! They learned about ants, bees, ladybugs, butterflies, and other insects. The students were able to see and learn all about the lifecycle of the butterfly. Today, the students released their butterflies and enjoyed watching them fly away to their new homes.
Kindergarten ended their study on Amphibians with their annual frog jumping contest today!
All frogs were released back into their natural habitat after the event.
It's not too late to join all of the fun at the Mother/Son Glow Party! Tomorrow, April 26th, is the last day to sign up! See flyer for details.
Mrs. Stelly's 1st grade students completed their very first research paper. The students had to check out a book about their favorite animal, research on the Chromebooks, learn to use Google Docs, type their paper, and finally, search for a directed drawing of their animal so that they could draw a picture to go along with their paper. It was also a fun way to use the skills they have learned in their new computer technology class at OES.
LET’S GLOW CRAZY with a Mother/Son Party!!!! Get your glow on for a night full of fun, music, and games on Saturday, April 27 at Orangefield Junior High from 6:00-8:00 pm. (For boys pre-K through 5th grade) See flyer for more information.
Students' multiplication math fact fluency was put to the test. In order to advance to the next round of Mrs. Verrett’s 3rd Grade Multiplication Madness Tournament, students battled against their opponents, having to not only complete each round the fastest but also with 100% accuracy. After battling through five fierce rounds, eliminating opponents and winning the championship, Mia Goetzmann took home the victory. Mia was awarded a first-place medal and her very own basketball. Nickolai Ringhardt, also known as the 'Number Ninja,' finished in 2nd place and made honorable efforts throughout the tournament.
Just a reminder- Orangefield Elementary will be closed to lunch visitors tomorrow for STAAR testing.
