Today Mrs. Carr and Mrs. Harkcom’s 5th and 6th grade students learned ALL about SNOWFLAKES!  Using our informational text skills along with our math and science skills we read about how snowflakes were formed and ALL about their symmetry and patterns and how no two snowflakes are alike. We learned what happens to the snowflake when the air is drier and what happens when the air is more humid! We even learned a bit of history about the very first person who figured out how to successfully photograph snowflakes! Then, they got to make their very own button snowflakes for the class Christmas tree! Lots of learning and lots of fun!

Oakwood Elementary 12 days of Christmas dress up days! December 18- Elementary Christmas program at 9:00 December 19- Elementary Christmas parties. All parties start at 9:30!

Mrs Harkcom and Mrs. Carr constructed a real-life escape room for their 5th and 6th grade students. “Operation Save Thanksgiving” was made up of math, reading, science, and social studies stations where the students had to solve a problem or answer questions in order to find the codes to the locks. The students did an excellent job by using critical thinking and problem solving skills. They enjoyed the hands-on experience and “outside the box” activities!

High School One Act Play coming soon! Open to all 8-12 grade. Grab a friend and let's make some Panther Theatre Magic! 💙🎭💛
