Welcome to the O'Neill Oracle!  We'll share our knowledge and opinions about  our hometown (O'Neill, Nebraska) through many exciting segments including: History, Popular Personalities, Economy, Geography, and many more!  Mrs. Sullivan's 3rd class created and performed the script, while Mrs. Morrow's 5th graders recorded and edited the podcast production.  Thanks also to Mr. Vincent for starting the idea of the "Our City" podcast and allowing schools everywhere to participate and share about our great hometowns!

Created in conjunction with a Language Arts persuasive writing unit, this sample PSA convinces us all to take seriously ATV safety.  Each 30 second PSA in this unit was created entirely by 5th grade students.  More to come...

Shortly after attending the Natural Resources Festival, these 5th grade students decided to create a radio drama to share some of what they learned.  Presenting “Water Court” by Alyssa, Michaela, Lizzie, and Tyler.

Come visit Nebraska through this audio tour enhanced with images created by four 5th grade boys!

 

**This project was awarded a 2006 Digies Award in the K-6 Nebraska Tourism category.  Way to go, Boys!!

Enrichment Clusters are seven week mini-courses for 4th-6th grade students at O’Neill Elementary to work and learn in an area of interest outside the regular curriculum.  We meet once a week for 90 minutes with our Cluster teacher and culminate the experience with a “Cluster Fair.”  Our Cluster this year with Mrs. Morrow is called “The Podcast Platoon.” You can tell what we did by listening to our awesome podcasts! However, if you want to learn about all the rest of the clusters, just listen to this episode.  

Mrs. Morrow was gone this week from Clusters, so we got to play and create our own scripts.  Here is what we had fun creating!

You never know when this song might come in handy... you may be on Jeopardy some day!  Anyway, Happy Presidents Day!
