Let's SPRING into Reading FUN!
Students took on the role of “text feature surgeons” as they sought to strengthen their understanding of nonfiction text features. Each group met a series of “patients” who showed different “symptoms” of confusion while reading. To help them recover, students had to carefully diagnose the problem and prescribe the right “text feature medicine" as well as find evidence of that text feature in a real-life nonfiction text.
Using their knowledge of headings, captions, diagrams, labels, photographs, and other nonfiction tools, students determined which text features would best help a reader understand the information. They explained their thinking, located the correct features, and successfully “treated” each patient.
With the help of this hands-on experience, students were able to put their knowledge to work and see how text features support comprehension while building teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The room was filled with excitement as students applied their learning in a creative way—and proved they have what it takes to be expert “text feature surgeons”!
Olympia North students are saving lives through the AHA Heart Challenge! ❤️
So far, our student body has raised over $5400 and earned both a Jersey Day and a Pajama Day. Our goal is $7,500, and if students reach it, Mr. Nordstrom has promised to shave his head! Let’s keep the momentum going and make a difference together!
In January, our focus was on Empathy. Empathy is a vital skill for elementary students, as it fosters positive relationships, reduces bullying, and strengthens academic engagement by creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive classroom community. Developing empathy helps children understand diverse perspectives, manage their emotions, resolve conflicts effectively, and build resilience.
We are proud of the students pictured below for being outstanding leaders in empathy. Congratulations, Spartans! 💙
What a great surprise for our 5th graders! 🏒 A couple of players from the Bloomington Bison joined us for a fun game of hockey last week . Students (and Mr. Nordstrom) had a blast practicing their skills and learning from the pros!
