Hooked on learning! 🎣 Mrs. Hudson’s kindergarteners had a blast “fishing” for CVC words! Each student used a pretend fishing pole to catch a word, then read it aloud to practice decoding. From cat to pig to sun, they were sounding out each letter and blending the sounds together like pros! Learning to read is even more exciting when you can catch your words! 🐟📚 #OHEistheplacetobe

Mrs. Youngblood's class put their informational reading skills to the test with a mini-escape room! Students had to find events to order under headings, find language that inferred the city, and change and label text features with how they help the reader. Learning text features is fun! #OHEistheplacetobe




Congratulations to our Staff Member of the Month, Mrs. McGahee!

From cat to pig to sun, they were sounding out each letter and blending the sounds together like pros! This hands-on game kept everyone engaged while strengthening their phonics skills and building confidence. Learning to read is even more exciting when you can catch your words! 🐟📚
Just a Reminder...Spring Break is March 23-27!
