Last week a flyer went home about the 100th day of school. Last year the first graders at Ox Ridge dressed up as 100 year old grownups. There were some very dashing gentlemena and some feisty ladies. We decided to make this a tradition and do it again this year. Of course, this is completly optional and you and your child can decide what to do. We will have a Day 100 parade so that the whole school can see how great we look! This will happen on Thursday.
We will have a scientist from High Tech-High Touch come and do some experiments on light and shadows. The students love these hands-on learning opportunities. This program is funded by the PTO Enrichment fund.
This Friday we will learn about Chinese New Year. We will have a "Chopstick Challenge" in math where we will talk about estimations. We will also read a non-ficiton book about a boy who lives in Chinatown. He explains his family's traditions.
Keep sending in boxes of cereal...we are very close to making our goal.
