I hope your child has settled into a homework routine at home. I know there were many new at-home tasks (sight words, weekly spelling list) and I appreciate you taking the time to setup the space and time to practice at home.
I will be attending a workshop in Trumbull on Monday, September 27th. There will be a substitute. I will check the emails and phone messages when I return on Tuesday.
One first grade tradition I completely forgot to mention at Open House will be happening this week. At the end of each month the 4 first grade classes get together for a brief "Pep Rally". At the Pep Rally we say the Ox Ridge Kids Code:
At Ox Ridge School we are:
Kind and accepting
Honest and responsible
Safe and peaceful
Respectful to all.
Then each teacher presents a certificate to 2 or 3 students who followed the Kids' Code all month. It's a way to recognize some students who demonstrate the spirit of being kind and responsible. It can often be motivating for other students as well.
This Friday is the start of our Mystery Readers. The class is very excited to see whose parents will be the first readers.
