Scheduling

Therapists have been in and out of our room all week trying to develop the best schedule to meet the students' needs. You will receive a final schedule by Monday, September 13.

Welcome Back!

The past 3 days have flown by!!! The students are so excited to be back at OCS! The staff is so happy to see them back. I am in the process of completing scheduling with therapists. A finalized schedule should be sent home with your child on Tuesday.

You child will have a folder for every subject he/she has in my classroom. Classwork, homework, and tests will be sent home in this folder. Graded papers will be located in the back pocket of the folder. You may keep these papers at home. Inside the front of the folder, you will find a taped table to display the grade you child received on classwork, homework, and tests. Next to each grade, you will need to initial that you saw the grade. This will give you more advanced notice of how your child did on the work he/she completed. You will still receive Friday reports each week, as well.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Earl is not invited to the party this year!!!

4th/5th Grade Dance

4th/5th Grade Dance 2010

On Friday, May 14, our 4th and 5th graders went to their first school dance. They wore nice clothes and made sure they were especially handsome for the evening. We are looking forward for the dances to come over the next years at OCS! Here are some pictures from the night.

Our class is really enjoying reading Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. We will be having a chocolate taste test contest next week. The students will watch the more recent movie when we finish the novel. This version is truer to the novel.
