Oh What a Happy Mess!!!

Today students from Mrs. Schafer's Spanish class at BSMS came to help the second grade make piñatas.   We had flour, water, salt, and newspaper everywhere but we had a blast doing it!!!

We will let them dry over the weekend and see how they look on Monday.   Hopefully we will be able to fill them up and hang them for a Cinco de Mayo celebration :).

First Annual OES Market

The first OES Market was a success!!! We made a grand total of $613.05! Our class alone made $139.55, which is above and beyond our predictions. Thank you so much to the parents that donated the needed resources, came to shop, and encouraged/supported the children during this meaningful learning experience. Have a wonderful Spring Break!

Author Visit

We had the privilege of getting to hear author Kevin Kurtz today.   He shared his new book Sharks and Dolphins.   He answered lots of questions and gave us lots of information about being a writer!!!

Dr. Seuss' Birthday

We have been enjoying our dress up days to celebrate Read Across America week.  Here we are with our red and white to honor Dr. Seuss' birthday today, March 2.

Science Fair Projects

Great job to our four students who completed science fair projects!!!

Austin researched m&m colors.

Matthew studied the effects of household cleaners on bacteria.

Joshua studied whether the color of a candle caused it to burn faster or slower.

Lastly, Paul studied which would melt faster...frozen tap water or frozen snow.
