The final sense of 5 senses week was completed today. They were such good sports about trying different things. They are not fans of sour, or bitter. Sweet and salty were their favorites!





Pre-K has been enjoying 5 senses week. They practiced their sense of smell by smelling different items such as coffee, tuna, pickles, lotion, perfume, and more. They used their sense of touchy with the touch and feel game. They lost their sense of sight by tracing with and without some foggy glasses. Played telephone and guessed different sounds for their sense of hearing. Lastly, tomorrow will be the taste test. More pics to come!





Pre-K's afternoon class couldn't help but have some fun in the beautiful fall leaves! Leaf throwing, leaf angels, leaf swimming, and more!





Fourth graders designed and constructed cars to fit the Ozobot robots. Stay tuned to see how this progresses. #OlySpartanPride


Third Graders had fun completing tile math puzzles which required them to use their understanding of place value and subtraction.




Mrs. Swartzendruber’s RtI group created a road and programmed the Ozobot to travel from one end to the other. What will the Ozobot do next?

4th graders are answering the essential question: Will a Mountain Last Forever? After experimenting with sugar cubes and shaker boxes to replicate and observe what happens when a rock tumbles down the mountain, we learned a mountain will not last forever. The ice cubes broke into smaller pieces, just like boulders do when it splits from the mountains. #olyspartanpride





Red ribbon parade in Minier.
Huge thank you to 4th grade for helping the littles keep up this year!





Congratulations to Natalie for guessing how many pieces of candy corn were in the jar during Red Ribbon Week. There were 2,023 pieces in jar.


Halloween stations of the week in PreK included:
Witch's hat trick...which hat has the letter H?
Find and write the numbers 1-10 around the room
Make an H, 9, or spooky face at playdoh.




Thank you, Olympia West PTO, for purchasing a Qball for our fourth grade classrooms. We love speaking into the foam microphone to share our learning with each other. #OlySpartanPride #4thgrade



4th Grade celebrates “Hats Off to Good Choices” during Red Ribbon Week at Oly West


3rd graders use their STEM skills to design and build Pumpkin catapults this week !




Pre-K celebrated Halloween with fun stations. Witch hat ring toss, eyeball balance races, Bingo, Spider fishing, and pin the nose on the Jack-o-lantern!
I finally figured out how to get more pictures for you to see- collages!!!
Enjoy and Happy Halloween!!!





Help! Gritch the Witch is stuck on her broom in the air, and we need to get her down! Some 3rd graders started sketching prototypes for a parachute STEM project.





Kindergarten students work on coding today!




Third graders learned about why our skeletons have so many bones. They then created an x-ray of their hand and wrist bones.



Congratulations to our October Spectacular Spartans!
