September OlyDigCit Focus: Media Balance & Well Being. "We live in a world overflowing with digital media and technology. All of us -- adults and kids -- have constant access to real-time information from around the globe. But do the benefits of being ever-connected also come with risks to our mental health? It's an important question to ask -- especially for our kids." Read more about Media Balance & Well-Being!

Olympia has a literacy coach through the Regional Office of Education. Raquel Eshleman helped Kindergarten at Olympia North with reading stations. Students did a great job rotating through listen to reading on iPads, read to someone with big books, putting the alphabet in order at word work and creating a book about the color red. We look forward to her time helping our classrooms.
As a part of our PBIS initiative this year we created a Spartan Pledge which all students say together during morning announcements. I am so proud of our students for embracing the pledge, and living by it each day at school!
5th grade students persevered to solve Kenken puzzles today in math, as they continue to learn how mathematicians work. This was followed up with a great discussion about how the skills used to solve these puzzles connect to the 8 Mathematical Practices. Way to go, Spartans!
