We love celebrating the lives of our students! Here in K5, if your child has a birthday, parents have the option of celebrating it at school. We will leave it up to each parent to decide. We have a class of 28 students, and if you would like to bring a small snack or goodie bag to share that is fine. Please remember that we have a no sugar policy and would like to stay away from sugary cupcakes! But sweets that are wrapped up are fine to send home. We will do birthday celebrations at the end of the day at 2:30pm. When your child has a birthday, please let us know if you would like to send something or come and help us sing "Happy Birthday!" If not, it is okay! We will still sing "Happy Birthday" and play a game that involves students asking the birthday child what his/her favorite color, food, or animal is! The kids love the attention and friends love finding out information from the birthday student. :)
We are looking for a class mom (or dad) or many moms that could be a team! It would be great if this person was bilingual, OR a native English speaker and a Japanese speaker could pair up and work together. A class parent will be the "go-to" parent to organize class parties, volunteering, and any other things that might come up. If you are interested, please let us know! We eventually would like our class parent to create a "Special Reader" schedule for parents to come in and read aloud a story to the class. Please notify Julie Woolery from PTF (email is below) or the teachers if you would like to be a class parent.
Motherread is program that OCSI is offering to parents of K3, K4, K5, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade. It is a program that helps parents and children read together. They will student a different children's book in English every week. Parents will then take the book home and share it with their children. All parents are welcome, regardless of English proficiency.
When: Every Wednesday from Sept. 16-Nov. 4, 1:30-3:00
Where: Room 320
Please email [email protected] (in English or Japanese) if you have any questions.
