Fifth graders are getting ready to POP into sixth grade!
Today was the Pre-K promotion. Those who completed one year and those moving on to Pre-K received their special awards and celebrated with parents. Thank you to all those who made this day possible and helping out. (Mrs. Lindsey, Mrs. Lang, Mrs. Bertram, Mrs. Brammeier, Mrs. Rummerfield and Candice Logsdon for our cool Oscar man) Big thank you to all the parents who came for their child, and Pre-K for working so hard!
Third graders are excited because the chicks started hatching! Eight fluffy chicks are already getting a lot of love from third graders and there are six more eggs that we are hoping hatch soon!
Olympia CUSD staff Learning how to implement Positive Behavioral Intervention Systems (PBIS). Excited about implementing next year!
Pre-K had so much fun on AG day at the High School. They learned about different aspects of agriculture such as drones, animals, crops, and the equipment. Thank you to the high school students and staff for such a fun day!
Congratulations to Mrs. Bohne! She was recognized this week at the IPA Staff Recognition Luncheon for her 28 years of service at Olympia West.

Mile run
They did it! Mile run
Huge thank you to Mrs. Lang for letting us use the Learning Center all week. Pre-K finished out their camping trip with a partner I Spy game. They took turns finding the camping pictures we've talked about, counted them, and wrote the number while taking turns with a partner. Lastly, we worked with our teams and went on a scavenger hunt finding certain items that were long, rough, bumpy, smooth, heavy, tiny, and more! This was a good test of listening skills. Good work, campers!
Fifth graders spent the morning with their little buddies! They used their coding skills to help kindergarten practice short vowel sounds.
Penny Wars are under way this week at Oly West! Which class will end up with the most pennies and dollars???
Today, Pre-K used the camping words and pictures they have been learning about to play and match in a game of BINGO. Then, during snack they ate smores cereal, were read stories, and used their imagination to come up with a story on their own. We had a close call with a bear at the end of story time, but luckily made it back to our classroom as a whole class!
Pre-K has been exploring the wilderness as they enjoy their camping unit. Monday was a relay of review, as each team raced to visit each tent and complete the review skills task. They not only had to use their prior knowledge of skills to complete each activity, but they had to "hike" from tent to tent using their gross motor skills to get there. They climbed over hills, and crawled under fallen trees, balanced on rocks along streams, and crawled through a fallen tree log. The week is full of more camping fun and using our imagination to learn!
5th graders exploring instruments with OHS students today!
Pre-K took a pretend trip to the zoo while participating in their zoo stations this week. They used their alphabet/literacy skills to put zoo animals in alpha order, or play a memory game with their partner, sorted zoo animals from farm animals, and then graphed how many for each animal, went on a zoo animal scavenger hunt and either wrote the first letter or whole animal name, and lastly, some worked on beginning letter sounds for zoo animals.
Fourth grade spent the day at Wildlife Prairie State Park. #OlySpartanPride
5th grade is at the Museum of Science and Industry today!
