I made some changes and additions to the calendar, so check it out carefully. Some activities require RSVP, so get on that! We had such a fun filled week! Red Ribbon Week was a great time of discussion and some silliness! We ended it all with Team Big Air doing basketball and handstand routines for us with the message of saying no to bad choices. It was great.
We loved having Amira's daddy as our WATCH DOG. I am always so impressed by all the willingness to take off work and invest time in OSE and your children. Thank you ALL!
We have a new computer program, Education Galaxy. Log in and other information is being sent home. It is reading and math so be sure your child is balancing between both and not just their favorite. :)
Have a lovely weekend!

WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
Language Arts-We did some more nonfiction reading and research. We read Stellaluna and talked about characters changing, feelings and facing problems. We also talked about strong verbs versus weak ones.
Science-We learned that you can change and combine differenty types of matter to make it do something it could not do on its own. We made smoothies, built bridges and boats. We learned to use some apps on the ipads to help us document our learning and reflect.
