Learning is better when you can MOVE! 🏃‍♀️🔢

Today’s math activity had our students hopping from hoop to hoop, identifying numbers, and collecting the correct number of bean bags.

They were practicing number recognition, counting, one-to-one correspondence, listening, and following directions—all while having a blast! ❤️

Math doesn't always look like worksheets…sometimes it looks like hula hoops and bean bags! 😍

🔟✨ Making 10 is more fun when you keep learning even during indoor recess!

Our kindergarten students have been practicing different ways to make 10, and today one little learner chose to keep the learning going by creating two 10 sticks during indoor recess! 🥰👏

We love seeing those math skills grow! ❤️➕🔢

🍋 Lemon Counting Fun in First Grade! 🍋

Learning math doesn’t have to be complicated—it can be as simple as counting lemons! Our first graders are having fun practicing their counting skills during small-group learning. We love seeing our students learn, count, and grow together! 💛🔢

Our kindergarteners are busy building those fine-motor skills with two classroom favorites: scissors and play dough! ✨

They’re practicing their zig-zag scissor skills, working on hand control, coordination, and precision as they carefully follow the lines. ✂️📄

Then it’s time for play dough! 👐 Play dough gives little hands a chance to build strength, dexterity, creativity, and coordination while having a whole lot of fun!

These activities may look like play, but our kindergarteners are doing some serious learning! 📚💪

Great job, Ms. Hogan's and Mr. Rader's classes!🏕️⭐

Our 5th graders took their learning beyond the textbook with a Civil War Scavenger Hunt! 🇺🇸

Students worked their way through clues, explored important information, and put their history knowledge to the test—all while having a little fun along the way!

We love seeing our kids learning, collaborating, and making connections in creative ways! ⭐

Way to go, 5th grade! 👏

Oak Park came together for an assembly this morning! Principal Missy Olinger and Assistant Principal Casey Lewis encouraged our students to “Stay the Course” as we begin a new school year.

We celebrated our students’ tremendous growth on the ACAP state test 🎉, reviewed important behavior expectations and school procedures, and talked about the importance of making good choices and staying on track.

And, of course, students were reminded of one of the best ways to grow as a learner:

📚 READ, READ, READ! 📚

We’re proud of our students and excited for a fantastic year ahead! ❤️💙
