4/30 Virtual Learning

New News!
Yesterday, I was allowed to go to OB and pack up our classroom. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. It is hard when you don't have closure and an ending to such a wonderful year! I packed up all your child's things. Dr. Taggert will contact you when you will be able to pick up your child's belongings. Please be sure to pick them up because it is a portfolio of your child's first year at OB and it shows you how much they have grown. 

Miss Layton has more spots open today if your child would like to meet with her. She can read 1 on 1, practice sight words and/or math facts! Click here to sign up for a time slot. 

Ms. Ladue and Mrs. Kelly are doing a bedtime read aloud/sing along for OB students on Wednesday May 6th at 7:30pm. Mark your calendars and come in your pajamas with your favorite stuffed animal! The link to the Zoom meeting is: (password: 9NujEr)

I've updated RazKids accounts to different sets of books based on the reading I have done with your child. Please have your child read on RazKids! It is the best resource we have for student's practicing reading at their level and helping to advance them.

Daily Morning Message:
Here is today's morning message for your child to watch to get his or her day started!

From Mrs. Kelley, our wonderful librarian:

Because we can't have the Scholastic Book Fair in the library this spring, we're going to host an online book fair instead!  Starting on Monday, April 20, you can order books online.  All orders will be shipped directly to your home and book orders of $25 or more ship for free!   Our library will receive a percentage of all sales which we'll use to buy books for the library next year.  This is a great opportunity to get books into the hands of your kids and raise money for our library--it's a win-win!  

The link to the online book fair is https://www.scholastic.com/bf/obeagles

The last day to order is May 3rd.  Don't miss out on this chance to get affordable books for your children!
