learning and fun happening in our schools

A child's drawing depicts a woolly mammoth and a stick figure hunter with a bow and arrow on brown paper.
Kindergarteners at Oak Harbor Elementary have been studying First Peoples. In art, they have learned the power of symbols and are integrating and applying those concepts to cave art unit activities. Students are learning about the lives of these early peoples who hunted and gathered, before written Language, some 25-15 thousand or more years ago, when woolly mammoths, bison, auks, woolly rhinos, and other now extinct animals, roamed the earth.

And Twin Day in Mrs. Orbe’s second-grade class was a hit! Students had so much fun matching outfits with their classmates and showing off their creative “twin” looks. From coordinated colors to perfectly planned accessories, the smiles and laughter filled the classroom all day long. What a fun way to build friendships and school spirit!

Celebrating 100 Days with an art contest! Olympic View Elementary's talented 4th-grade artists wowed their school by creatively incorporating 100 into their artwork! We are so proud of their imagination and hard work.

And students in Ms. Van Giesen’s First Grade class and Ms. Kenley’s Kindergarten class experienced a very special visit from Jack the therapy dog and his owner, Miss Pat! These
students practiced using polite words to ask if they could pet Jack and enjoyed a calming, soothing experience with their new furry friend. It was a wonderful opportunity to build social skills while sharing smiles and snuggles. A big thank you to Dogs on Call, Jack, and Miss Pat for sharing your time!
