We can't wait to see you tomorrow! :)
Week 30 was one to remember! Our incredible custodian, Yeoman, spent time with 5th graders teaching them how to play Phase 10, creating fun and connection along the way. In Ms. Denny’s class, students got creative by designing masks that perfectly fit their faces. With the sunshine finally here, students enjoyed time outside while continuing to prepare for our upcoming Engage in Education Night.
Our 4th graders kicked off ISAT season with an exciting Glow Party, bringing energy and positivity to testing season! South Hills Middle School counselors also visited our 5th graders, helping ease nerves about middle school while sharing information about electives and what to expect next year.
Our coin challenge is still going strong, with students excitedly competing and showing school spirit as they work toward their grade-level goals!
To top it all off, one of our 5th graders celebrated a big win—passing his multiples test! Even better, his braces are off, and he’s ready to celebrate with gumballs! 🍬

Way to go, Ms. Cameron's class! They received the "What's This Song?!?" Wednesday Award for the second time this year! This week's song was "Never Gonna Give You Up" performed by Rick Astley
Week 28 may have been short for students, but it was one of the most important! 💛
We loved connecting with families during Parent-Teacher Conferences, sharing smiles at Breakfast Buddies, and seeing students excited about reading at the Book Fair 📚✨

Mrs. Coombs’ class took some time to write heartfelt thank-you notes to Mrs. Boeddiker to show just how much she’s appreciated. We are so lucky to have such caring and dedicated educators supporting our students! ✏️🍎

Shout out to Ms. Tubbs's class! They were the fifth correct response to the last our Disney weeks for the "What's This Song?!?" Wednesday Award. This week's song was "I'll Make a Man Out of You" from Mulan.
Mrs. Ferrara's class has been studying decimals and the relationship between tenths and hundredths. Today, we were the staff of Ferrara's Hamburger Hut. We had to take orders from customers and calculate the price. We used knowledge of addition, decimals, tenths, hundredths, and our listening and speaking skills.

Friday was a slimy day in Ms. Denny’s class! 🧪🟢
Students read a book about slime in the ocean, watched a fascinating (and slightly gross!) video about hagfish and slime molds, and learned the science behind why slime works.
Then it was time for hands-on fun as they made three different types of slime: Water Slime, Regular Slime, and Cloud Slime. It was a messy, exciting way to explore science and learn how materials can change and react!
Learning + slime = a great day in class! 😊

✨ Week 27 at Oregon Trail was one to remember! ✨
This week brought lots of memorable moments for our students and staff. We celebrated a sweet Kindergarten wedding, practiced safety during an ALICE Drill, and wrapped up the week with a half day as we closed out Quarter 3.
Some classes celebrated the end of the quarter with special activities. In Mrs. Boyle’s 5th Grade, students enjoyed a magical Disney Day! 🏰 Students created their own Magic Bands, made Mickey Ear headbands, listened to music from around the parks, and even got to “ride” a few rides. 🎢
What a fun and magical way to celebrate all the hard work from the third quarter! ✨📚
