Kindergarten has enjoyed learning about Apples in Reading and Science! We taste tested apples and voted on our favorites! Each class made a graph to show the winning votes. We learned about Johnny Appleseed and celebrated his birthday with an apple themed day! #koalascreate

Tomorrow is the last day for the book fair! It has been a great week seeing all of our koalas picking out their favorite books. If your child has not been able to shop yet you still have time. You can add money to an e-wallet, send in cash, or we also take checks. Thank you to everyone who has supported OMES this week through our book fair. https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/content/fairs/how-ewallet-works.html?fairId=5412332

This weeks Koala shout out goes to Taylor. "She found some money on the floor in the library during the book fair and turned it in. The child that lost the money came back looking for it and she told him she turned it in! Thank you Taylor for being respectful and responsible!" -Mrs. Denise

Professional learning is important for teachers because it helps them stay updated on new teaching strategies and techniques. It allows them to enhance their skills and knowledge, benefiting our students' learning experience. Mrs. Compton and Mrs. Welch went to Mammoth Cave and received great resources, materials, and real life experiences to bring back to the classroom to our OMES Koalas. The teacher workshop that they attended focused on ecosystems and adaptations. #koalascreate

This week's Community Spotlight recognizes Bernheim Forest. Cele Beckner, a volunteer Naturalist, shared with all of our Old Mill students what being a naturalist is all about! Ms. Beckner encouraged our students to stay curious, explore nature, and keep their minds open for a career in the natural resources or tourism cluster of Kentucky careers! We appreciate Bernheim’s collaboration and look forward to more partnerships with them in the future. #koalascreate

3rd grade students learned about the characteristics of birds and how their wings are shaped to help them glide for long periods of time when flying. They used the engineering design process to make a glider inspired by bird wings! Students showed teamwork and accountability by working together to create, revise, and discover the best design to glide as far, and long, as possible. KOALAS C.R.E.A.T.E.!

Shout out to two of our third graders, Claire and Olivia! "Without being asked, they saw a student sitting by herself at lunch and they left their table to come and sit with her. They didn't want her to feel alone."
