Friday News for Week of March 24-28

This Week at OCSI

We had a short week because Monday there was no school. 

Reading - We started learning about comparative and superlative (which is just a fancy term for -er and -est. We practiced sentences with them and wrote in our reading journal to practice.

Math - We finally learned the 3D shapes! Today we did a sorting activity where we had to sort everyday objects into the correct box of Cylinder, Cube, Rectangular Prism, Sphere, and Cone. 

Today was Culture Fair!! The students did very well sitting through all 17 presentations! We got to taste some food, see a model house, see clothings, toys, and money of the different countries. 

Next Week  March 25-28

Bible Verse: ”The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear?” Psalm 27:1b

Tuesday 3/25: 1.2 will be leading our elementary chapel for the day. If you would like to come and watch us, we will be leading from 9:45-10:15, 1:50-2:20, and 2:25-2:45. You are welcome to come and watch us! :) Our theme will be “The Wise and the Foolish Builders” from Matthew 7:24-27.

4/1-4/3 Terra Nova Testing. This is our yearly standardized testing. OCSI does testing from K5-12th grade. We will be testing on Tuesday 4/1, Wednesday 4/2, and Thursday 4/3. Please make sure your child gets a lot of sleep and rest on these days. Also, these day, students need to bring a snack to school. Please make sure it is a healthy snack (mikan, cheese, crackers, juice, fruits, vegetables). We will test mostly in the mornings with breaks in between each test. テラノバテストは4/1−4/3です。この日、生徒たちはきちんと寝て疲れがないようにしてくださ。テストの間おやつの時間もあげます。ヘルシーなおやつを学校までその日子供と送ってください(みかん、チーズ、クラッカー、せんべい、ジュース、果物、野菜)。

4/3 KID CITY!!! We are excited for Kid City coming up. For the first time ever, 1-2nd graders will participate in a “in-school field trip” called Kid City. The students will have the chance to experience many real life jobs and situations such as going to the bank, city hall, post office, store and more, BUT we need some of your parents help to get this to work. 
We need your help one day after school next week - 3/26 or 3/27 from 3:00-4:00 to cut and paste and make and create the different things we need for the Kid City day. 
We need volunteers to come and help with Kid City on April 3rd. from 12:00-3:00. 
If you are able for one or both of these, we would really appreciate it!
初めて1−2年生は”Kid City”をします。(子供町)子供たちは日曜生活、仕事をいろいろ体験できる所です。これは学校内遠足です。でも、親の手伝いがほしいです!
1。学校の後3/26と3/27一時間だけ Kid Cityの手伝いをしてくれる親をさがしています。紙をきったり、いろいろなもの作ります。これたら、ぜひ手伝いにきてください。
2。 Kid Cityの日は4月3日12:00−3:00までです。その日にボランティアを下くださる親も探しています。したければ、連絡ください。
