The 4K Bridges Math unit in October was all about pumpkins! The students patterned, counted, weighed, and measured pumpkins of all sizes. For this activity, students had to cut a piece of string to the length they thought they needed to fit around the pumpkin. Miss Kelly made a paper "belt" to fit around the middle, and students had to bring their string up to compare if their string was shorter, longer, or the same length as the belt!

Omro Middle School recognized Bully Prevention Month in October. We had great participation from students as staff as we all wore blue on Oct. 18th to stand together against bullying. The whole school also took part in creating a "No Place For Hate" mural that is hanging in the commons for all to see (shout-out to Allyson, Addison and Lucy for their talented artwork). In addition, we had Peer Leaders and Officer Peeters teach/review the SUSO (Speak Up Speak Out) reporting tool and Peer Leaders do a lunch check-in with 6th graders to help ensure everyone is making connections.

Earlier this month, second grade students in Mrs. Babcock's class were working on Unit 2 in Bridges math, which concentrates on place value to the hundreds and measurement. For the first lesson the students had to estimate how many beans are in a bag, then they decided to count groups of tens, then grouped tens into hundreds, with ones left over. Results are in the picture(s).
