Mrs. Davis’ and Mrs. Gonzalez’ students complet-
ed a stem challenge where their students were

ghetti and marshmallows. The tower had to be a
free standing tower and they measured to see
whose was the tallest!

Dear Okatie Families,
We are gearing up for our bi-annual Passport to Peace.
This is a program designed to teach students about the
culture, customs, and traditions from countries they may
never have visited or even heard of. Last time we had
speakers from Costa Rica, Germany, Romania, India, Pe-
ru, Senegal, Mexico, Uruguay, Colombia, Spain, Greece,
Belize, Argentina, Nicaragua, and South Africa. It was
such a wonderful day, and a great opportunity for our stu-
dents. If you are interested in sharing about a country,
please use the link below to sign up.
Passport to Peace will be Wednesday, October 25, 8:15-
10:30 a.m.
A light breakfast and lunch will be provided for the present-
ers

On October 3, Okatie welcomed Gary Mau-
er, a local magician, to hold a magic show
for the families of our young owls. The fam-
ilies had lots of fun interacting with the
show and enjoyed a delicious dinner as
well. Kids Club is a special activity that we
do each year to promote parent and child
interaction during family friendly activities.
Special thanks to Mrs. Woods for putting
together this fun night!

The 4th grade and 5
th grade classes were visited
today by 3 professional musicians from the Hilton Head Orchestra as part of the Music Bridges Pro-gram. These musicians gave a 30 minute presen-
tation where the students were able to discuss their knowledge of how sound is produced in gen-eral and on various instruments, as well as meter,
fractions, imagery, instrument families, pitch, etc. The students will have another visit from more
musicians November 23rd

4th Grade spend the day at
Honey Horn Plantation
The fourth grade students were able to ex-plore the Coastal Discovery Museum at
Honey Horn Plantation. They learned about the Native Americans that once lived in the low country. Some of the information includ-
ed how they found/constructed shelter, food, water, and the use of pottery called
pinch pots. This was a great experience for the students because they have just fin-
ished their Native Americans unit and they were able to see first-hand what it was like
for the Natives to live in the low country.
