We practiced reading words that follow the “floss” rule by playing a game called “rotten bananas”.
We did a close read of a story called Summer Sun Risin’ where the boy lived on a farm. We learned how the sun moves through the sky throughout the day and the activities the boy did on the farm. We love directed drawings so we went with a farm this week! They did great!
The afternoon preschool enjoyed being artists! 🎨
They all created a masterpiece!

Dear O-C Community,
I want to provide a few updates and clarifications to the current health situation at O-C. Burt County has moved to Red on the health dial. The health department has changed their original recommendations to schools. Instead of closing school in level Red, the new recommendation is to keep schools open if at all possible. There are several reasons for this change. For example, school is a controlled environment with established rules and protocols for masking, social distancing, and symptom monitoring. O-C schools will continue to stay open as long as we can safely meet our staffing requirements and the health department recommends we stay open.
We will have a more detailed joint announcement from both the school and health department this afternoon.

The OC Art Club collaborated with the Oakland Public Library and designed a Little Free Library in the style of Dr. Seuss. A Little Free Library is a “take a book, return a book” free book exchange. Anyone in the community may take a book or bring a book to share.
Tonight’s rosters:
After school students enjoyed playing putt putt golf in the hallways at school during the chilly first half of the week.
Burt County has moved to the Orange level on the most recent health dial. O-C Public Schools will operate in the orange for our COVID-19 protocols. To avoid exposure to outside sources during lunch, consideration is given to closing campus for lunch. If campus is closed during the lunch break, students would not be able to leave school grounds during lunch and all students would either bring food from home or eat at school.
As a reminder, both breakfast and lunch at school are FREE to ALL students for the entire school year.
The administration is going to wait another week to determine if a closed campus will be necessary and to give families time to make arrangements if they choose to have their child bring food from home.
We will make a decision based on the latest information by November 6th on how to best proceed for our students.
We made taco pizza for cooking club today.
