December Events

We are entering into an exciting and busy month. I would like to keep you updated on the following events.
  • The OCS Winter Concert will be held at 6:00 on December 9. Our students have been practicing in their music classes and look forward to participating in the concert.
  • The PTO Santa's Workshop will be held next week. Students in 5K will be going from 11:18-11:48 on Tuesday, December 8. Students from 4M will be going on the same day from 11:53-12:25. Students in 7L will be going from 9:26-10:19 on Wednesday, December 9. There will be a make-up-time from 10-1 on Thursday, December 10.
  • School will be dismissed early on Wednesday, December 23. We will be on Winter Break until January 4, 2010.

We will be learning about different holidays celebrated in the month of December. We will also learn about how Christmas is celebrated in different countries. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, students in my life skills class will be making some holiday decorations. They will be focusing on following directions, measuring, counting, adding and subtracting, and other skills. We will also be working on speaking appropriately on the telephone by using a tape recorder to help the students to evaluate their telephone skills.
