We had a wonderful time engaging in winter activities with our OES families today. One family worked in groups to create the tallest freestanding snowman. Their planning and preparations encouraged teamwork, engineering, and communication skills!

Mrs. Sorenson’s 3rd graders created a city while working on their multiplication arrays and designed balloons to float over their city just like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The interactive bulletin board was a hit!
