OB's Got Character
Did your OB student(s) share with you about our January Class Buddy Time? The objective of the lesson was for students to “Choose To Be Nice” by respecting their space, as well as other people’s spaces. The lesson started with students learning about their kinesphere. Your kinesphere is like your own personal space bubble. There are three different types of space; personal space, shared space, and outer space. Outer space may not be what you think it is.... ask your child(ren) to tell you about it! Just as bubbles can pop, so can your kinesphere. Kinespheres can be "popped" by running into/touching the furniture, running into/touching other people, or by our voices. Please consider asking us to demonstrate how to move while keeping our kinesphere, and the kinesphere of people around us, from popping. Then consider trying it out as a family by moving around your home while everyone keeps their kinespheres intact. We are looking forward to our next Class Buddy Time later in February.

Counselor News
Parenting well is hard, but not impossible. This semester we are hosting a Strong Parent group at Old Bonhomme. We will share coffee and treats while using a program called The Strong Parent Project to facilitate our conversations, learn, and share parenting tips and strategies. Right now our group plans on meeting four times throughout the semester. On Saturday February 20, March 5, April 2, and April 16 from 8:30 to 9:30 A.M in the OB Conference Room. You can commit to one or all of the sessions. If needed, child care will be provided.
Click here to enroll in the program.
Student Safety
Put student safety first! When students are dropped off and walking in between cars, they are not safe. Once the buses have left the front circle, a staff member removes the chain and parents can use the front circle for student drop-off and pick-up with the understanding that students should ONLY be let out at the sidewalk and not in the middle of the road/ driveway. Thank you for your understanding as we all work together to keep our students safe.
KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION
If you have a child that will be 5 years old before August 1, 2016, please contact Mrs. Dunkle in the school office to set up an appointment for a kindergarten screening, or call (314) 983-KIDS. Screenings have already begun, so please call and schedule yours today!
