•Parent/Teacher Conferences-
Parent Teacher Conferences are right around the corner! We want to make sure the conference is as productive and beneficial for you as possible.

• OB's Got character!-
October's Character Word of the Month at OB is RESPONSIBILITY. What does it look like to show responsibility in your home? Consider talking with your kids about what types of responsibilities each family member has in your home. What does it look like when family members do/don't follow through on their responsibilities? As a family, check out this great child-friendly video about responsibility: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I03JseHP1x4. After viewing the video, consider having a discussion about how showing responsibility at school compares to showing responsibility in your home.

•OB Community Book
Study- We love to celebrate our diverse
community and all of our differences that make our community unique and special. During Red Ribbon Week, OB is going to launch a community-wide book study using the book Rules by Cynthia Lord. The book revolves around the themes of acceptance and friendship. In order to make it community-wide, we are utilizing a “flipped” classroom approach. Families are encouraged to read the book at home with your children. Questions and activities to go along with the book will be provided. A book-study blog will be launched as well, which will include questions, and provide an opportunity for a school-wide discussion. The plan is to wrap up the book study by December 13. In order to prepare for the book study, we ask that you please locate a copy of the book Rules. Please let us know if you need help finding a copy of the book. Also, a good pre-reading activity would be to read Frog and Toad are Friends (this book is often mentioned in Rules). We are very excited to launch our book study and continuing to encourage acceptance, friendship and diversity in our community. Please contact Mrs. Susan Kelley, our school librarian, with any questions. Friendship Committee
