Grade 5’s in 4/5-1 finished their egg experiment this week! We observed shell changes in the egg in Coke and vinegar. We also observed changes in the yolk (after a messy break) of the vinegar egg…it could be held in a hand!

Grade 4’s @oodps1 went on a field trip to RBG’s Arboretum yesterday! We learned all about rocks and minerals and did some outdoor art. The sun even came out for us for a little bit ☀️☀️

We started our multiplication stations in 4/5-1 today! Lots of fun and giggles in math = great learning 😄

4/5-1 spread some ❤️ on Valentine’s Day. What do you ❤️ about @oodps1 ?

The grade 5’s from 4/5-1, 5/6-1 and some from our OOD Life skills participated in a series of mad science workshops today! We had so much fun exploring dry ice, making our own bouncy balls (to be bounced tomorrow!!), and growing crystals!
