C-10 Wednesday, November 14, 2018 The Press-Dispatch SCHOOL Submit school news: Email: schoolnews@pressdispatch.net Deadline: Noon on Friday Otwell Miller Academy Winslow Elementary Above and right: Here the OMA fifth graders complete an experiment using Orbeez and do- nated science equipment from donorschoose.org. We tested to see which factors affected the Or- beez the most. Students had to create a "Claim, Evidence, Reasoning" paper based on the exper- iment. Left: For Drug Awareness and Prevention Week, OMA had a Wacky Hair Day. Students pledged to say NO to drugs. (Drugs make you do wacky and bad things. Wacky hair is good. Drugs are bad. DON'T DO DRUGS.) Right: Pre-K and Kindergarten trick or treat- ed us during our Halloween party. Each little one received candy. Grade 5 had cupcakes, Kool-Aid Coolers and watched "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." Aiden Dupont and Malachi Barrett hold up their nature walk finds. Mrs. Smith's class went on a nature walk around the playground. Right: Mrs. Harmon's students Kinley Black- well, Brody Hildebrand and Arianna Richardson smile for the camera while they do some research on their STEM experiment. Bryson Baxter, Kameron Schwindt and Blake Wellmeyer work on the pumpkin launcher STEM project for Mrs. Henson's class. Mr. Bob Douglas got a big thank you card from Ms. Craig's first grad- ers. He was the Jr. Achievement leader for the students. Seated are: Logan Thomas, Gemma Slunder, Blake Houchin, Austin Vaughn, Jayla Miller, Dev- on Doughty, Breena Allen and Wyatt Watts. Standing are: Zoey LeMond, Kole Aydelott, Lilly Payne, Steele Moore, Kaleigh Schultz, Lukas Farmer, Briar Bruce, Braylee Schuessler and Neva Schilling. Linette Myers shows the picture she drew during her class nature walk. The students drew pictures of what they found during their walk. Gwen Stinson shows off her pumpkin launcher. The second graders in Mrs. Henson's class had to assemble a launcher using specific items. Over the last few weeks, OMA has developed an art club at morning recess time. The art club is awesome. Above and both left: OMA fifth graders create posters based on the short story "Ten Mile Day."
