Our very own Nurse Nadia received the Georgia Rise Award! We truly have the best nurse!

When the weather is this beautiful, you take your math lesson outdoors to the garden! We practiced counting 10 with whatever manipulatives we could find in nature. Then we made number pairs for 10 with some of the items we found. #outdoorlearning Oak Grove Elementary School Cherokee Co. Schools

Look at these Kinders go! Not long ago, we were just learning how to log into Canvas. We’re still getting the hang of logging in but this week they got their first official independent assignments! #blendedlearning Oak Grove Elementary School Cherokee Co. Schools Lori Stuart

Students are researching how a shadow can change over time based on the position of the sun and earth. We need to understand how shadows can move so that we know which parts of our vegetable garden will get more sun or shade! Oak Grove Elementary School Cherokee Co. Schools

Going on a scavenger hunt for living and non-living things in the garden was a fun way to observe the differences between the two! #outdoorlearning Oak Grove Elementary School Cherokee Co. Schools

The 100 color challenge for the 100th day of school! Could you mix 100 different colors out of paint when only given primary colors, black, and white? #artsintegration #100thdayofschool Oak Grove Elementary School Cherokee Co. Schools

Creating portraits out of living and non-living things for our most recent EDP. Next up we will create addition and subtraction word problems to go along with the items in the portraits! #OakGroveSTEAM #artsintegration Oak Grove Elementary School Cherokee Co. Schools

We have been learning about living and non-living things in Kindergarten. Look what living thing we found while moving soil in the garden today! #OakGroveSTEAM Oak Grove Elementary School Cherokee Co. Schools

We have been learning that teen numbers are a group of 10 plus some number of extra ones. We used an earth material (rocks) to practice counting a group of 10 first. Then we added the extra ones to make a teen number! #outdoorlearning Oak Grove Elementary School Cherokee Co. Schools

Researching on PebbleGo and in books today to get facts for our informational writing pieces. Thanks for visiting and teaching us today, Denise Lewis !

WE ARE OFFICIALLY OAK GROVE STEAM ACADEMY !!!! 🦅❤️💙#OakGroveSTEAM Oak Grove Elementary School

Ready to welcome our 2022-2023 students!

Our determined gardeners in green for our STEAM and PBIS assembly Monday morning! 💚🍀🌿🥑 #OakGroveSTEAM #STEAM #CCSD Oak Grove Elementary School

Today the Kindergarten team had our first PD with Alliance Theatre 🎭! We are so excited to start our journey integrating fine arts into our instruction. 🎨 #OakGroveSTEAM #Kinder #finearts Oak Grove Elementary School

Students are harvesting basil from the garden to hang dry and share with our families! We discussed the physical attributes of freshly harvested basil and will observe how those attributes change as it dries.

Partnering with Alliance Theatre and learning new ways to use puppetry arts in the classroom has been such a treat! Oak Grove Elementary School Cherokee Co. Schools

I had a blast discussing orthographic mapping and learning multi-sensory mapping instructional strategies with kindergarten! Dana Studer Mrs. Walker Ms. D (she/her) Taylore Belcher

Ms. Studer’s class created a diamond dance to teach about the forces and motions they use in their vegetable gardens. They used their knowledge of shapes and counting to choreograph their dance, and they documented the process in STEAM journals! Dana Studer Oak Grove Elementary School STEM/ STEAM Georgia

Thanks for coming to visit, Denise Lewis!

Congratulations to these Microsoft Kids!! It’s amazing what Kinders can do when you ditch the mentality that certain technology is “too hard” for them. Believe in your students, give them a chance to try, and they will go so far!! Lori Stuart Lee Patti
