DAY OF SERVICE: In celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day, many staff and students helped to make the world better by doing one random act of service. Here are some of the pics posted on our Google Classrooms! Way to go Oak Lions!

SOCIAL SCIENCE: In sixth grade: Students used both primary and secondary sources to learn about Tutankhamun and find out what actually happened to this leader. Afterwards, students participated in a virtual escape room "Escape the Pharoah's Tomb"

SPOTLIGHT ON ENGLISH: Have you ever wondered how to pick a good book to read? Book Tasting!! Our sixth grade English teachers ( Mrs. Wilson, Dr. Lozolla, Mrs. Olmscheid and Mrs. Olmstead )and our Media Center assistants Mrs. Hoefflin and Mrs. Stiller, helped to compile every title of "Fantasy and Science Fiction" for the selected genre of independent reading. Students roamed the halls and stopped to read short descriptions of each title. Students were asked to pick their top three choices. We even had recommendations from our staff. No judging THESE books by their covers!

SPOTLIGHT ON INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC: Due to Covid 19 restrictions for wind instruments, our Concert Band students, under the direction of Mr. Harrell, have been keeping the music alive this semester by drumming and learning music technology! They have been developing their music reading and ensemble skills by playing a variety of percussion instruments together in class, which is a new musical experience for many of our students. They have also taken a deep-dive into their own creativity using Soundtrap, a cloud-based music production and engineering program. They have done everything from creating their own original music, to creating a score to a movie scene using pre-recorded loops and sounds. We are so proud of the resilience of our instrumental music students and are excited for what the next semester will bring!

SPOTLIGHT ON MUSIC IN THE WHEEL: Students in Mrs. Reynolds music wheel get an opportunity to learn to play Ukulele!

The Los Alamitos District Council PTA has a standing Special Education Committee. Oak's representative is Jackie Dominick who is a parent at Oak Middle School. Mrs. Dominic can be reached at jackiedominick@yahoo.com.
