7th graders are working on developing fraction sense in math class. In class they used pictures to help them determine the smallest, biggest, those close to half, and then ordered them. Being able to "see" the fraction amount helps our students' better understand the variety of fractions that they will be working with throughout their fraction units. #leadon #orabs #math

The 7th graders in Mrs. Woelber's TA spent some of their TA time talking about Habit 5: Think Win-Win. After the discussion students decided to color and write notes for residents of our local assisted living and senior living centers! The students hope to “fill their buckets” when the residents get their pictures and notes! #leadon #orabs

6th graders are continuing to learn more about the different systems of the body. Right now they are learning about the circulatory system, including blood, blood vessels and the heart. After learning what makes up blood (plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets) the students made a model using corn syrup, red hots, mini marshmallows and cookie sprinkles to represent what is all in their blood. The students then had to draw their models, labeled all the parts and described the function of each part. Next up they are going to be learning how the blood moves through the chambers of the heart and to the lungs. Way to go 6th Grade! #leadon #science #orabs

Mrs. Vogel’s class visited Old Jerry McVreeman’s farm last week. They got to feed the animals, rode on tractors and had a snack in the grain bin! It was a great day for the kids to experience and learn a little but more about farm life. #leadon #orabs

The 8th graders have been focusing on proportions in math class. They did an application activity where they tagged "fish" in an effort to find the number of fish in their “Lake”. Students were able to better see and understand proportions through this activity. #leadon #orabs #math

A few weeks ago we shared the beginning stages of the Middle School "Drip Drop" art project. Each student created their own part and then, when finished combined it with the other students' completed work to create a new bigger piece of art. This project is special because the finished art piece has a little piece of each of the students' talents in it. The "Drip Drop" art project is now complete and hanging up in the Middle School. #leadon #dripdrop #art #oabs

Today was Pajama Day at the Middle School, which made for a comfy start to the week! Although the students came in their pajamas, they were ready to learn and have some fun today. Our 7th and 8th graders got to enjoy a reward activity for their hard work during the first few weeks of school on their essential skills. The students got to enjoy a variety of tailgating games for their hard work. Our 6th graders spent time learning more about the digestive system in humans through some hands on digestion activities and then created their own diagram of the system. Way to go Orabs!
