Persuasive Letters Rewarded with Pizza!

Submitted by adrian.rowley on

Mrs. Tanner's fifth grade class wrote persuasive letters to various restaurants that they felt were the best restaurant ever and told the reasons why they were the best! We then mailed them off to various restaurants.Tiffanee Mortensen along with some other fifth graders wrote to Brick Oven. The owner was so impressed with their letters that he contacted me and asked if he could cater a lunch (pizza party) for my class. The kids were so excited! They were more than generous and brought 9 x-large pizzas, 8 liters of soda, and plenty of gift certificates for $10.00 off.

Kindergarten Science Projects

Submitted by adrian.rowley on

The kindergartners at Orchard Hills recently studied a unit about Science.  They learned that science is so many things.  Some of the students had the opportunity to do a science project and present to their class.  Some of the students did experiments and others learned about a specific thing in science to teach their class about.  We love science!
