Congratulations to the OHE March Student of the Month, Lincoln Woods!
Lincoln is a second grader in Ms. Matilo's class. 🤩
First graders in Mrs. Orellana's class carried out an investigation to determine the relationship between the shape of different bird beaks and the food each bird eats. Students experimented with pointy beaks that are great for picking seeds and wide beaks that are good for scooping. It was a fun and engaging learning experience for everyone! #EducateEquipEmpower
Officer Harris and Mrs. Ditto presented fourth grader, Kalen Leonard, with a “Caught Being Good” certificate.
Kalen was caught picking up trash on the playground after high winds carried debris. When asked why he did this, he responded “I care about the planet, and I do not want it to be hurt”.
The "Caught Being Good” program is a partnership between the Russellville Police Department, Oakland Heights Elementary, and IHOP restaurant. A student that is “Caught Being Good” is awarded a certificate for one free kids meal at the Russellville IHOP restaurant.
Spring is coming soon! Please note our March calendar for upcoming events at OHE!
Mrs. Hudson's kindergarten class is learning about open and closed syllables. Students worked together as a team to decode each syllable first. Then they sorted them by their syllable types (open/closed) by looking at the vowel to determine if it is making a long or short sound.

Kindness is our February CKH word of the month. We have enjoyed making conscious efforts to be kind to others. We have focused on showing kindness through positive affirmations, compliments, encouragement, and through kind actions. Our kindergarten teachers set up a hot cocoa bar for our staff today. It's the little things that brighten our day! Thank you to our kindergarten teachers for spreading kindness!
The Rotary Club of Russellville donated books to our third grade students. Each student received a copy of The One and Only Ivan! We were excited to Meet Miss Arkansas Tech, Sophie Puckett.
