Fall is Officially Here!

The temperature may have turned cooler, but things are certainly heating up at OCS.  Clubs and activities have begun!  It promises to be an exciting year.

Thank you to all the parents that attended Back-to-School nights.  It was good to see familiar and new faces.  Please remember I welcome your emails and phone calls.  We need to keep the lines of communication open.  I will respond asap.  Please let me know if you have any questions about any material we are covering or questions about homework.

In ELA we are working with homophones.  Students are recognizing how challenging word choice can be. 

We've learned that homophones....

• are words that sound the same
• are words that sound the same and are spelled differently
• are words that sound the same but have different meanings

We will have a homophone quiz on Friday.  We will also have a spelling test of review words.

This week will find us continuing homophones (to, too, two, they're, their, there).
