Career Day

A few weeks ago, we had Career Day. Here are the thoughts of Elnur and Carolyn:

Have you ever had a Career Day at your school? Well, if you haven't then you should. At OES every year, we have people with important jobs come to our school and teach us about their job. This year in Mrs. Wise's class we had a sports doctor, a soldier, nurses, and a lawyer. The sports doctor taught us about living. The soldier told us about what they do in the Army. The nurses told us what to do in case of a heart attack. Last, we had a lawyer and she told us about what a lawyer does to help others people's concerns. We wish we had a Career Day every day at OES!

Earth Day

Tuesday, April 22 was Earth Day. Third graders here at Oakland celebrated by doing different Earth Day inspired activities all week. They read a Judy Moody story about saving the world, wrote persuasive letters to other classes convincing them to help our planet, and even planted flowers or picked up litter around our school. We are so proud of what they accomplished and the impact they have made on other students in the school. Here are the thoughts of Aaron and Madison Lynn:

This week in Mrs. Wise's class we are trying to persuade the teachers about Earth Day. We are writing letters to classes to try to convince them to help the Earth. On Earth Day the whole third grade either planted flowers or picked up litter. During recess, all the girls in Mrs. Wise's class helped Mrs. Debbie put the mulch around the flowerbeds.
You should also plant more flowers and trees to make the Earth a better environment. We enjoyed helping the Earth!
