New Jersey Shirts!

Over the remaining few days, students will be creating shirts!  Being that we studied New Jersey, students will illustrate their shirts with what they have learned in class.
Please allow your child to bring in a white (or light-colored) t-shirt, that you do not mind having your child illustrate.  Shirts should be clean.
Thank you!

Girls on the Run

OCS GOTR Club is collecting toiletries for women in need.  Please help the girls with such a wonderful cause by sending in (new): shampoo/conditioner, hair styling supplies, deodorant, jewelry, face wash, moisturizer, lotion, makeup, etc....
The collection ends next Friday, June 13-thank you for considering to help!

HAWAIIAN DAY

Tomorrow is our last PTA Spirit Day!
Since our class won last month, we have selected tomorrow's theme which is Hawaiian/Luau Day!
Please remember, children are NOT permitted to wear flip-flops or bathing suits to school.
Have a great night!

SEA OTTERS

This week, we are discussing the Kelp Forest for MARE.

Students are beginning to work on posters about sea otters.  

To check out these adorable animals in action take a look at the cameras at Monterey Bay Aquarium.  Please note that times listed on the webpage are Pacific!

Enjoy!
