Mrs. Stelly's 1st grade students completed their very first research paper. The students had to check out a book about their favorite animal, research on the Chromebooks, learn to use Google Docs, type their paper, and finally, search for a directed drawing of their animal so that they could draw a picture to go along with their paper. It was also a fun way to use the skills they have learned in their new computer technology class at OES.

Students' multiplication math fact fluency was put to the test. In order to advance to the next round of Mrs. Verrett’s 3rd Grade Multiplication Madness Tournament, students battled against their opponents, having to not only complete each round the fastest but also with 100% accuracy. After battling through five fierce rounds, eliminating opponents and winning the championship, Mia Goetzmann took home the victory. Mia was awarded a first-place medal and her very own basketball. Nickolai Ringhardt, also known as the 'Number Ninja,' finished in 2nd place and made honorable efforts throughout the tournament.
Just a reminder- Orangefield Elementary will be closed to lunch visitors tomorrow for STAAR testing.
