NEW JOURNALISM CLASS: Our new Journalism class started writing their first articles this week! Here is the team with their NEW PRESS BADGES that they use to interview students and teachers on campus. Congratulations Bella Perez, the Editor in Chief of our new online newspaper: THE MANE PAGE. Stay tuned for the first issue coming soon.

At Oak, we will continue to follow the current CDPH guidelines for Physical Education, however, we are now permitted to allow the use of shared equipment as long as it is cleaned intermittently. At Oak, our P.E. faculty believe that individual equipment should be continued to be offered to students. If students would like to share equipment, we will allow that and continue to clean the equipment at the conclusion of each teaching period. Individual equipment is also cleaned after EVERY class use.

NEW GUIDELINES FOR OUTDOOR SINGING: The CDPH is allowing for outdoor singing providing that physical distancing and mask wearing are implemented. Click here for more information Our choirs will begin this practice in the coming weeks.

SPOTLIGHT ON LEARNING THIS WEEK:

SPOTLIGHT ON SOCIAL SCIENCE: Social Science classes used the outdoor quad area for students to explore the reasons why populations would migrate from one place to another.

Students in sixth grade social science practiced their longitude and latitude skills by playing battle ship.

ALGEBRA SPOTLIGHT: Students at Oak and at Los Al @home Algebra WITH Mr. Pixler and Mr. Berger are solving and graphing inequalities by dragging and dropping information on their own Google Slides.

SPOTLIGHT ON SIXTH GRADE ENGLISH: Sixth grade English Core students are currently drafting explanatory essays about the emotional and physical challenges that Japanese Americans faced during their internment in WWII . Students have read and annotated various sources to find evidence to support these challenges. Mrs. Sharon Kasai, a staff member at Oak, graciously brought actual luggage that her mother-in-law (Mary Komatsuka) and aunt (Flora Komatsuka) used when they were interned at a camp. These artifacts helped students gain a little more context about what the Japanese Americans went through as they were only allowed to bring what they could carry.
