If a student was not here for school pictures in August, they should attend this retake session to have their picture taken.

OABCIG first graders went on their annual Spring field trip to Moorehead Park. The first graders did three centers. The first center was with Naturalist Danielle and she took the students on a hike to learn all about birds in their natural environment. They even got to use binoculars. Then the next center was a nature journal where the students used magnifying glasses to observe and investigate the area around them. Then the students recorded their observations in their journal. The last center was entitled "Bird Beak Buffet" a hands-on-activity that the students used various tools that acted as a bird's beak to see which worked best to get a certain bird's food in the various environments. The first graders learned so much and we are so lucky to have such a great resource in our district.

The 3rd and 4th grade classes had the opportunity to participate in a mobile seed survivor classroom that was in connection with Nutrien. The students participated in a session that involved a presentation about agriculture, digging for fossils, planting a sunflower, and investigating soil. They also got to go inside their traveling trailer participating in interactive games on plant nutrients. We are lucky to get the trailer to come to our school as it only goes to a handful of states during the year and comes from Canada.
