What a beautiful day to have the Fairmount Fire Department come to OFRS to teach our preschoolers through grade 1 students about fire safety.
The Week of Respect continues at OFRS! Today we wore Crazy Socks to "to remind us to stomp out unkind behaviors".
Our 5th graders collected enough stream water to FILL THE TANK! One step closer to welcoming our trout eggs to their new home.
Today is SUPERHERO day! What does it mean to be a superhero? To be kind to others, believe in yourself, work to solve problems, be helpful to others, and show support to those who need it. 🦸🏽🦸🏻♀️
We are filling up our tank with water from local streams and rivers. Our trout will love all of this healthy bacteria that will replicate that natural environment. 🐟
REMINDER: Schools will be closed on Thursday, October 3, 2024 in observance of Rosh Hashanah.
Dear Families, We are happy to report that full power has been restored to all buildings, and phones are now working. Thank you.
Our power at OFRS is now FULLY RESTORED but we loved to see our students and teachers working creatively to make the most of their learning day! Nothing can stop us from reading. :)
Fifth grade scientists at work!!!
TREP$ registration is now open for all students in grades 5-8! Check your email for more information on this exciting program or visit our website: https://www.wtschools.org/treps
Fourth grade students were so excited to launch their rockets. They experimented by adjusting variables in order to get the highest launch! Science is FUN!
Kindergareten students were excited to harvest the potatoes planted by last year's kindergarten students in the outdoor classroom. They also began their science unit on Trees and Weather with nature walks using their senses to observe and record their data about tree parts.
Third grade students invented "Bobbly Droppers". In the activity, students try to save a falling bobby pin from a crash landing by inventing a device to slow the fall. They work like inventors, learning that failures are part of the invention process!
First grade students shares their hopes and dreams for the school year!
Grade 4 is multiplying with units of ten in math class and identifying genres in ELA class. We love working in small groups.
Students in third grade show RESPONSIBILITY by collecting library books around the building and delivering them to the library each morning. We all have a meaningful role to play in making our school days run smoothly. #OFRScares!
Each day we remind our students of Bus Safety! 🚌
1. Follow the directions of your driver the first time.
2. Stay seated in your assigned seat facing forward, belt on, with your personal belongings in your lap or at your feet.
3. Keep your arms, legs and head inside the window and out of the aisle.
4. Keep your bus safe & clean (leave food & drinks secured in your backpack).
5. Speak quietly (indoor voices), use technology appropriately.
Our hallways are already filled with student work!
Students learn in small groups, large groups and by working independently. We see a myriad of instruction techniques in our classrooms.
Recess = Our Favorite Part of the Day 🏃🏾♂️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾
