Students will be given the task this week of creating a noise maker using recyclable materials from around the house. We need EMPTY( cans, paper towel and bath tissue rolls, cereal boxes, small foil pie pans, plastic tubs, plastic water bottles, paper bags, paper cups, paper plates, balloons, plastic spoons, news paper, cellophane, waxed paper, rice and beans) Students will have the opportunity to select from these items to create and design their own noisemaker in partners. We would love to have items by Tuesday, January 12th. Thank you in advance for your support! :)
On Friday, January 15th we will celebrate the 100th day of school. Students will have the opportunity to dress like they are 100 years old. We will enjoy a day of fun with 100 day activities as well as a special snack to help us celebrate.
Oconee Food for Kids was created to help bridge the food gap for some of Oconee’s kids. Sacks of kid-friendly food are given each week to children in need. January 11 - January 29, Rocky Branch will be collecting individual containers of fruit with pull tops (peaches, apple sauce, fruit cocktail, pears, etc.). This is a great way to include your child in putting the Rockets’ Way into action. Include them when you purchase the items. Or maybe, let them earn some money toward purchasing some of the items. Discuss how this helps other students in Oconee County Schools. This is Contribution, Effort and Teamwork all tied together!
Please have your child participate in the Six Flags Read to Succeed Program by reading and recording 6 hours of reading. Once they have completed and documented their reading, please have them return the completed form to me. The deadline to submit your reading log is Friday, February 19.
