Back to School Night
Back to School Night was very successful. It was nice to see our OCS parents visiting our school. If you were unable to come, please feel free to contact me at any time with any questions you may have.
Last night was the last night for the book fair. There will be another book fair in the spring. That is the By One Get One Free book fair. You may always order from a scholastic book order. I can certainly get you a book order form from your child's reading level if you are interested.
Next week, our science class will be making applesauce in the crock pot. We love this activity because our classroom smells so nice. Yankee Candle has nothing on the real thing. ;)
Our social studies class is learning about important social skills. We continue to practice them throughout the day.

First full weeks of school
Welcome Back!
We have a lot of exciting things going on in room 214 and at OCS. Students are doing a great job of being independent middle schoolers. They are opening and closing the locks on their lockers. They developed a new set of class rules and everyone signed his name that he will follow the rules.
In Language Arts Literature classes, students are working with our new writing program called Units of Study. They are working on expressing themselves through their writing. Students are also working sounding out words and constructing words using letter sounds. Each student has a spelling list. He will keep his list in his homework folder. I will not publish it on here, but you may e-mail me if the list is misplaced.
In Math class, we are completing a beginning of the year assessment. Students will then go on to work on his individual math goal for the week. I will let you know when there are tests coming up. Homework will be written in the communication book.
Our science class enjoyed making a mini scientist and cooking play doh last week. This week we will be focusing on science safety. Then we will begin to study astronomy.
