🔨🪨 3rd Grade Fossil Hunters! 🪨🔨
Our East Omak 3rd graders took learning out of the classroom and into the rocks during their field trip to the Stonerose Interpretive Center & Eocene Fossil Site in Republic!
Armed with hammers, plenty of curiosity, and a little patience, our Eagles had the opportunity to dig, split rocks, and search for fossils. There’s something pretty amazing about seeing students discover that a piece of history can be hiding right beneath their feet!
A huge thank you to our teachers, staff, volunteers, and the Stonerose team for making this hands-on learning experience possible. Judging by those smiles (and bags of treasures!), we’d say it was a pretty great day to be a 3rd grader!
🪶 Celebrating Native American Day at East Omak 🪶
In honor of Native American Day on September 25th, our 3rd graders spent a special day learning, creating, listening, and experiencing Native American culture.
Students rotated through classrooms where they participated in a variety of meaningful, hands-on activities — from traditional foods and storytelling to art, language, and learning about cultural traditions.
We are especially grateful to the staff and community members who shared their knowledge, experiences, and traditions with our students. Opportunities like these help our students learn more about the rich Native culture that is such an important part of our school and community.
What a beautiful day of learning, connection, and celebration

School Garden Days for Miss Plakos's Class...
Our East Eagles had the pleasure of getting their hands dirty in the school garden. Miss Plakos's 4th grade class had the opportunity of visiting and tending to the garden. The students were taught the rules of the garden and how to be respectful to the plants/animals and each other.
They were encouraged to be quiet in the garden, ask lots of questions, use their five senses and leave the garden better than when they came in. We taught the class "Leave No Trace" policies and this resulted in students picking up garbage/debris that littered the ground. The entry way of the garden was overgrown, and students pruned and made the pathway accessible. They also worked on clearing up under the sunflower gazebo.
The class took part in weed pulling, litter pickup, honeybee identification, and harvest (their favorite activity). Special guest, Mr. Plako's gave the students a plant identification and harvest lesson.
The fruits, vegetables and sunflowers were then brought back to the classrooms for students to enjoy. The melons and bright yellow sunflowers were a class favorite. A melon was cut open and class and used to demonstrate fractions and division to equally allow each student a slice.
Each student also was given a worksheet about the five senses and identified each sense with an adjective regarding the melon. This included smell, taste, feel, hear, and sight. Many students enjoyed the taste and fruity smell. The whole class learned lots of new skills and had lots of fun as well. Hopefully, other classes can enjoy the school garden as much as we have.
