September is Sparkling with Lots of Excitement!

The 2013-14 School Year Has Begun!

Welcome back everyone!  Welcome September, welcome Fall, and welcome to another wonderful year of learning at the Oxford Central School.

Mrs. Carr's English Language Arts Class has begun the year with many "Getting to Know You" activities.  Our class promises to work hard, do our best, and always to remember to be CORRECT in all that we do at OCS.

Focus activity of the week:  Spelling
This year we will be taking a new approach to our spelling.  We will be focusing on everyday core words that we use with our writing.  We will not just work from a spelling list, but through dictation and recognizing word structure.  These research-based strategies are sure to help us with both our reading and writing.  We need to be able to carry-over our spelling into our writing.

Week #1 =  also, almost, always, along, any, add, away, around, again, against, asked, another, animal, answer, American, while, small, with, because, would, sound, been, next, great, might

Bonus homophones (know when to use them:)) one, there,
