OCMHS Summer School Week 2-The Great Outdoors: This week students made and launched hot air balloons after reading an article and participating in a question and answer session with a hot air balloon pilot. They participated in an interactive campfire story, constructed a solar oven, and baked campfire food in their solar ovens. They participated in a nature scavenger hunt and used handheld microscopes to observe their collections. They also used their math skills to make Kandinsky circles, angles in their names, and angles in circles with spinning tops. Students had a busy, fun-filled week of learning!
Owsley County Schools will be dismissing all summer school activities at 12 o'clock on Thursday June 6th.

Congratulations to our OCES teachers who completed the entire course of Lexia LETRS.
Teachers were provided with an intensive, professional learning course of study based in the science of reading. The course taught the how, what, and why of literacy acquisition to improve instructional practice and achieve long-term systemic change in literacy instruction.
LETRS for elementary educators required a two year commitment and is an investment in teachers' literacy knowledge and professional practice. Our teachers gained essential knowledge and skills to master the fundamentals of literacy instruction required to apply and transform student learning.
Mr. McCoy's class has been learning about life cycles & releases the butterflies they have been observing!
After reading the book Flying Solo which is about early days of flight they researched how to make the best paper airplane. The winner in the first race which was planes made on their own was Camille Brewer and the winner of the second race, which was planes made at home was Madi Havicus and the winner of a 3rd race (due to a technical interference) was Marshall Turner! Congrats to all!
