Here are our first Fox Paw winners of the new school year from H.B. Patch & OES. Great job following the Fox Four Expectations of being safe, being responsible, being respectful, and being positive!
School Picture Day for H.B. Patch and OES is Thursday, September 14th
All students will have their picture taken, regardless if parents purchase a picture package. Pictures are used for our yearbook.
Parents can order pictures online or send a printed order form and payment with their child to be given to the photographer on picture day. Picture orders must be placed between July 1st - Sept 12th to get free shipping to school.
(Picture day for OMS and OHS is Friday, September 8th)
The PTO is accepting donations of new or gently used sports equipment for the elementary and middle school students to use during recess.
Students in Mrs. Babcock's second grade students wrote biographies for their peers to celebrate the end of the year and new friendships made! It was so meaningful!!!
Recently, David Gjertson from Gjertson Design (a Wisconsin native and a student's great uncle) zoomed in live from Atlanta to talk to Mrs. Geracie's 4th grade class about his work as a landscape architect/urban planner and his son, Eric's, work as a 3D character artist/animator.
He shared drawings from projects he has done over the years, showed tools that he uses, and talked about his education and how he got to where he is today. He then shared his son's journey from doodling as an elementary student up through the work he currently does designing characters for video games. The meeting wrapped up with a tutorial on how to sketch and all students had a chance to sketch a barn/silo scene while he sketched them as a class. It was a fantastic opportunity and fun was had by all!
Thank you, Mr. Gjertson, for taking time out of your busy schedule to connect with our students here in Omro!
To finish up a Math Bridges, second graders completed a STEM type experiment with marbles and ramps. The students experimented with different ramp lengths to see if that affected the distance the marble rolled.
Ms. Downs' 3rd grade class became published authors last week!
The students wrote paragraphs about their heroes- someone who has had a positive influence on their life and exhibits heroic qualities. Students wrote about their parents, teachers, coaches, etc. Students also created their own illustrations to go with their paragraphs. The students then took their paragraphs through the writing process, making sure it was ready for the final step- publishing!
The published book, "Our Book of Heroes", has arrived and now they have their own piece of published writing to keep forever! Ms. Downs is very proud of their dedication and hard work.
Here are last weeks Fox Paw winners from H.B. Patch, OES, and OMS. Great job following the Fox Four Expectations of being safe, being responsible, being respectful, and being positive!
There is much excitement on the OES playground with a killdeer pair nesting on our playground! The students are delighted everyday to see the birds guarding their four speckled eggs. The mom and dad take turns sitting on the eggs and keeping a watchful eye amidst the playing children. Everyone at OES has been respectful and responsible to give this pair their space and observe the progress. Another reminder of what makes Omro a wonderful place to be!
Ms. Downs' 3rd grade and Mr. Carlson's high school AP Chemistry class partnered up for some chemistry demonstrations in the OES Science Lab!
Here are last weeks Fox Paw winners from H.B. Patch and OES. Great job following the Fox Four Expectations of being safe, being responsible, being respectful, and being positive!
Mrs. Babcock's students recently released their Painted Lady Butterflies. With much excitement and wonder they observed the butterflies change from the larva to the pupa stage and then emerge as adult butterflies. In the classroom students feed them sugar water, oranges, and dandelions. It was good to release them so they can continue the life cycle.
