Oran R-III School District

Student Council spirit week! Thank you to all the students and staff that participated!

Last week’s "Soaring Eagle” in 1sty grade was Cameron Blackburn! We worked for a couple weeks on the same goal: use the correct voice level. Cameron makes good choices with his voice level in the classroom, always raises his hand, and never blurts out in class when we are learning to distract others. He got to take our eagle home with him over the weekend and is now added to our "soaring eagle" display in the hallway.

So much fun and so many blessings at our FCA Thanksgiving luncheon today! Grateful for the laughter, fellowship, and this amazing community.

The 3rd grade students recently completed an ELA unit about the history of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Then they read the book "Balloons Over Broadway" and were inspired to create their own balloon characters for a parade.

Our 1st graders have been learning about the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe this week. We’ve been exploring what life was like in the 1600s and how different it was from the way we live today. One big difference we discussed was how people made their clothing. Both Native Americans and Pilgrims sewed their own garments, so today we practiced a simple straight stitch! Students used burlap with their initials, plastic sewing needles, and yarn to try this skill out. It was a wonderful hands-on activity that helped strengthen their fine motor skills, listening, and patience.

Oran High School has a new Sewing Club this year. Our 4 members just completed their 1st project-tote bags. Students practiced sewing basics, learned new skills, and created something they can use every day. We’re so proud of their hard work and creativity. Excellent work by all our student makers! 🪡🦅
