Christmas Reading Challenge

Christmas Reading Challenge

Students at OES will be participating in a Christmas Reading Challenge by reading as much as they can over the holiday break.  The challenge begins on Friday, December 18^th upon dismissal from school and concludes on Tuesday, January 5^th when we return.  Students may use the special “Christmas Challenge” logs that are attached.  If they are filled, notebook paper may be attached to the log.  All logs must be turned in on January 5^th.  These steps will be added to his or her regular reading log, also!  ***All students that participate in reading over the break will receive a special surprise!

OES is competing against other District 2 schools for a trophy and bragging rights.  In addition, the class with the highest percentage of reading per grade level will receive a trophy for their class and “Pancakes with the Principals.” 

We would love to see pictures of your child/children reading over the winter break; please share them with us on social media using #OESreads2015.  We encourage every student to READ, READ, READ over the break to maintain the progress made thus far this school year!

Winter Wonderland

  Christmastime is here!  Our library elf arrived from the North Pole this week (he came in on a reindeer this year), and things are looking festive in the media center.  More details will be coming soon about our District Christmas Reading Challenge.

Clemson Wins the Challenge!

Clemson/Carolina Challenge

Clemson raised the most money in the challenge (all $ raised went to Relay for Life), so the Carolina fans received a pie in the face this afternoon!  Over $1000 was raised!  Way to go, All Stars!

 

4th Grade Trip to Historic Brattonsville

I had a great time chaperoning the 4th graders on their field trip to Historic Brattonsville!

Pumpkin Book Characters

Check out these awesome pumpkins created by our classes at Oakland!  Students decorated a pumpkin based on a book character and have voted all week for their favorite.  All proceeds go to Relay for Life, and the class that raises the most money wins a smoothie party.
