Third grade science made paper clips float! Students had to build a contraption using two pieces of cardboard, string and magnets. They then had to get the paperclip to the right distance to balance the force of the magnet and gravity. #force #STEAM #poweroflearning #bighornblue
Seniors! Please submit three photos and your senior quote by December 8th for your half page in the yearbook.
One main portrait photo - think professional portrait ( Lifetouch in Reno does Senior Portraits as do many local photographers).
Two candid photos - such as you playing sports, a baby picture, a fun photo that says "me", etc. They must be school appropriate.
A senior quote - it can be a favorite saying, song lyric or something that is specific to your senior year. It must be school appropriate or you will be asked for another.
Contact Mrs. Amy Arends with any questions at aarends@oanv.org.
It was a spider web of kind words in Mrs. Antus' class. Students said something kind to their fellow classmates and passed the string to create a fun web.
Who doesn't love applesauce? First graders made the sweet treat from start to finish last week. They started by writing opinion pieces on the best apples and finishing the lesson by making applesauce.
It was experiment time in Kindergarten. Using the sun's energy, they let the sun fade the paper around a pumpkin template to see which color paper faded more. #science #fade #STEM #poweroflearning #pumpkin #bighornblue
The school was filled with the yummy smell of banana bread after the Life Skills Class made muffins. #bananabread #lifeskills #poweroflearning #bighornblue
