Mother Tongue Project

Last week Hasara and I met with the grade 3s. We wanted to start this lesson off as a more of a introductory lesson rather than a teaching lesson. Handling preschoolers is certainly a new thing for Hasara and me. They are easily distracted and you need to keep them active and attentive. During this lesson we told them who we were and what we wanted to do with them. We learned their names and thought them a few basics such as "My name is" and a "Blue" "Red" "Yellow" and "Green". It was actually quite fun and teaching a class together really involves a lot of collaborating with your co-teacher. We are meeting them again next Thursday and we have a different class lined up for this Monday as well :)

Endicott survey- SGA

Over the past 2 weeks the Executive Committee of the SGA has been looking over the Endicott survey results of the past 2 years. We have been comparing the areas in which OSC has been improving and where it has been depreciating. We brainstormed ideas of how we could make the necessary changes in school and what capabilities the SGA has to make those changes. We are currently trying to find a way to express the SGAs ideas and changes to the Board and HODs.

The SGA is also organizing more spirit days and a rally for the SAISA teams. 

Local Volleyball Tournament Hosted at OSC

Starting this Friday on the 17th and 18th of October OSC is hosting a inter- school volleyball tournament. We are hosting 4 teams and will be playing round robin games on Friday we will be playing the placement games. SAISA is only a week away and this tournament is a great chance for us to test our skill and our collaboration as a team in clutch situations. This will also be my first chance to be the captain of the team for a long period of time. We will be at school as a team for a total of 8 hours between Friday and Saturday, we need to concentrate on conditioning and being ready for every game. As captain it's my responsibility to make sure that my team is keeping up physically and mentally. Leadership is not a new skill for me but it is a skill that I have acquired over the past year and I still have many aspects in which I need improvement. I will be the Captain of the Basketball team in 2015 and I really hope I can carry my team to a medal.
