Happy New Year~

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's Season.

I took a trip up to Tokyo and got to spend a few weeks with my parents and brothers. Here's a family picture at Christmas

Some important details about January:

Kite Day is January 11th. 1st and 2nd graders have a regular school day but will go outside from 10:00-10:45 to fly kites on the soccer field. Parents, you are welcome to come and have fun with us during that time!

Jan 11-15 is school Spirit Week, where we will dress up crazy as a whole school. Your child is welcome to participate in dressing up as well.


Monday - Jan 11: Noah’s Ark Day: Dress like Noah or an animal!


Tuesday - Jan 12: Career Day: Dress up as what you want to be when you grow up!


Wednesday - Jan 13: Character Day: Dress up as a book character! (K-2 will parade around the school from 9:15-10:00am)


Thursday - Jan 14: Red and White Day: Wear OCSI colors!


Friday - Jan 15: Class matching Day: Wear your Friendship Friday T-shirt!


Please make sure that your child dresses up on WEDNESDAY! For Kindergarten to 2nd graders, we will parade and walk around the school in the morning dressed up as our book character.


Spelling Bee:

Make sure you are studying your spelling words!
I have put all the spelling bee words onto a website called Spellingcity where the students can play games to practice for the Spelling bee. The link is here: http://www.spellingcity.com/msturnerocsi/ and also on the top tab. The 100 words are in 5 different groups - all are the first grade words!
