Homework Checklist for August 25-29

Good morning!

Here is the homework checklist for the week of August 25-29.

This week is easy to get the students into the groove of doing homework every night. We also do not have spelling words or a Bible memory verse this week - that will come next week.

First Week of School - DONE!

Hello everyone!

Thank you to all the parents who came out to Open House on Friday night. I enjoyed getting to meet all of you and I'm really excited for the rest of the school year.オープンハウスでみなさんに会えて嬉しかったです。今年よろしくおねがいします！

I am still looking for a room mom if anyone would like to volunteer. You don't even have to speak any English! If you are interested, please let me know. まだクラスママを探しています。興味があれば連絡ください。

Please fill out all the forms and return them to school by Monday! 家族アンケートの通訳が必要ならここをクリックしてください。家族アンケート

This week - we learned what First Grade would look like.

We started music and PE class. We learned how to sit on the carpet. We learned how to walk around the classroom. We learned how to line up quickly and quietly outside. We learned how to walk in the hallway. We learned how to sit at our desk. We learned new friend's names. We enjoyed extra recess. It was a lot of procedures, but procedures that are necessary for the whole school year!

Next week, we will start diving more into real school subjects such as math and reading.

For week of August 25-29 there will be no Spelling words yet.

Bible Memory verse for next week "I have hidden your words in my heart, that I might not sin against you." Psalm 119:11

Welcome to the 2014-2015 School Year!

Welcome parents and 1st grade students to the 2014-2015 school year at OCSI! We have already finished the second day of school - and we have already had a lot of fun!

We made new friends, learned new rules and procedures, and got used to sitting in our desks. I am excited for the rest of the school year!

Please remember that OPEN HOUSE is this Friday night starting at 6:00pm. I hope to see all of you there! If you can't make it by 6:00pm, there will be two sessions -

Let summer begin!

We had a GREAT last day of school in 1.2. The students and I reflected on the WHOLE year to think of everything we learned and all the school events we got to be a part of. At 11:30, we had a wonderful lunch of delicious food. Thank you to every parent who sent food in! Then we played some fun games including pictionary, madlibs story, and a "Find someone who..." game. It was so sad to say goodbye to all 18 of these wonderful students. I will definitely miss them a lot but I am so excited for them to go to 2nd grade. 

As of this afternoon, I have cleaned up the whole classroom. I have also moved!! As of next year, I will no longer be in Room 212, instead I will be in room 208 - still teaching 1st grade though. Please come visit me any time!

I hope you all will have a fantastic summer with your families. Make lots of memories and spend lots of precious time together. 

Thank you for this school year - it was definitely a joy.

Love,

Ms. Turner :)

Friday News and LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL!!!!!!

A huge THANK YOU EVERYONE! For the wonderful birthday cards, flowers, presents, emails, and love for my birthday. I felt so loved by all of my students and families! Thank you!!! I had a great birthday and after school, Ms. Lim and Mrs. Gosin took me to a tea shop for a tea party! It was lovely!

This week: TESTS....

This week, we mostly finished up workbooks and took tests... not too much fun but the students were very good and did not complain! Every test I gave them, they just took it and quickly started working on it. Sometimes, I tried to be nice and say, "Ok, we'll do the rest tomorrow." But the students said, "No, let's do it today!" What a great group of students!

We took an end-of-the-year reading test, 2 math tests, a Bible test, a spelling test, and a phonics test. We finished our spelling and phonics workbooks. 

We DID do some fun things! The students finished up their vending machines this week and they did SO well! I was so impressed by them.

Next week:

Last day of school June 11th and ends at 2pm. We will have a class party starting at 11am. All parents are welcome to attend. Please sign up to bring (or send with your child to school in the morning) a food item to share with every one BECAUSE there will be no school lunch that day.学校の最後の日は６月１１日です。２時に終わります。その日はクラスパーティです。１１時から始めます。みんなと一緒に分かち合える食べ物を持ってきてください。その日は給食がありません。親のみなさんもぜひいらして下さい。

No spelling words, no Bible memory, no homework. :)
