With so much media and information coming at us through the television, phones, social media, and more, it's more important than ever for kids to understand the basics of media literacy. When kids can identify different types of news and media and the methods and meanings behind them, they're on their way to being critical thinkers and smart consumers.
Throughout the month, we will be sharing a set of five tips to help your children become critical thinkers of news and media. Here is a short video to get those conversations started!

Kids find and read news in lots of different ways. But studies show they're not very good at interpreting what they see. How can we help them get better? Teaching your children about the structure of online news articles is an important place to start.
Today, the Olympia Transition Program went to Ms. Patton's class at Oly West for our January book buddies. We read a poem about kindness & looked at different pictures to decide if it showed friendship. Then, they read a book about being a friend & created their own snowman with ways they can be a friend.

The 7th Grade Boys Basketball team's season ended last night with a 49-20 loss to Eureka. Cade Yoder (13 points) led the team in scoring. The boys ended the season with a 24-3 overall record and a 22-2 regular season record.
According to our books that is the most wins by an OMS team ever in the regular season and possibly the most wins overall for a team. Even though the season didn't end how they wanted it to, the boys should keep their heads high on having such a great season! Go Spartans!
