8th Grade Greek Language Arts December Projects
Our talented students designed a holiday living room, using their writing
language skills, by putting together sentences describing their room and where
everything is placed. Best of all, they had holiday fun listening to hit holiday songs
in Greek. Wishing happy holidays to everyone!

Many of our OCS students who are enrolled in a business or computer class from K-12 participated in The Hour of Code. The Hour of Code takes place each year during Computer Science Education Week. The 2018 Computer Science Education Week was December 3-9, 2018. Computer Science Education Week is held annually in recognition of the birthday of computing pioneer Admiral Grace Murray Hopper (December 9, 1906).

The Hour of Code is a global movement introducing tens of millions of students worldwide to computer science, inspiring kids to learn more, breaking stereotypes, and leaving them feeling empowered.
The largest learning event in history
During Computer Science Education WeekDecember 3-9, 2018
What is the Hour of Code?
A one-hour introduction to computer scienceThe Hour of Code began as a one-hour coding challenge to give students a fun first introduction to computer science and has become a global learning event, celebration, and awareness event. HourOfCode.com offers hundreds of one-hour activities in over 48 languages for kindergarten and up. Activities require no experience and can be run on browsers, tablets, and smartphones - some don’t require any computer at all.
Why computer science?
Computer science is foundationalComputer science is changing every industry on the planet. Every 21st-century student should have the opportunity to learn how to create technology. Computer science concepts also help nurture creativity and problem-solving skills to prepare students for any future career.
Economic opportunity for all Computing occupations are the fastest-growing, best paying, and now the largest sector of all new wages in the US. Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed.
Students also love it! Recent surveys show that among classes students “like a lot,” computer science and engineering rank near the top—only performing arts, art, and design are higher.
Beyond the Hour of Code
Don’t stop at an hour Add high-quality computer science to your curriculum or enroll in a hands-on professional development workshop. Make a lasting change at your school. Learn how at code.org/yourschool.
ANYONE, ANYWHERE CAN HOST AN HOUR OF
CODE. JOIN US!

Code.org’s own activities feature Minecraft, Star Wars, Disney’s Frozen, Angry Birds, and Plants vs. Zombies.
An annual global event The Hour of Code takes place every year during Computer Science Education Week, the first week in December. With a huge groundswell of support and attention, it’s an ideal time for schools and districts to put the spotlight on computer science programs and expand opportunities.

Hour of Code.”

The Hour of Code is organized by Code.org, a public non-profit dedicated to expanding access to computer science and increasing participation by women and underrepresented students of color. The Hour of Code is celebrated during the annual Computer Science Education Week in December. Code.org®, the CODE logo and Hour of Code™ are trademarks of Code.org.
The Hour of Code has made huge strides in bringing computer science to all students
In the first Hour of Code four years ago, more girls tried computer science than have tried in the last 70 years!
Celebrities, tech visionaries and even Former President Obama support Hour of Code
● Every Apple Store in the world has hosted an Hour of Code. ● Hour of Code has been featured on Apple, Amazon, Google, YouTube, Yahoo!,
Bing, and Disney homepages. ● Celebrities Ashton Kutcher and Jessica Alba and tech leaders Sheryl Sandberg,
Bill Gates, and Jack Dorsey have talked with classrooms in live video chats. ● President Obama wrote his first line of code to kick off the Hour of Code in 2014,
and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau kicked off the Hour of Code 2016. ● Hour of Code students opened the NASDAQ at a special event in 2015. ● Over 300 partners have come together to support this grassroots campaign,
including The College Board, Microsoft, Infosys Foundation USA, Google, Salesforce, BlackRock, Verizon, Disney, Teach for America, Khan Academy, DonorsChoose.org, and more.
Together, we can solve the diversity gap in computer science
Women who try AP Computer Science in high school are ten times more likely to major in it in college, but females currently only make up 25% of high school CS classrooms, and those ratios don’t change in the workforce! An Hour of Code is a great place to start addressing the diversity gap and introducing computer science to more girls in an engaging and empowering way!

The Flu and Colds: Tips on Helping Your Child Feel Better
The Difference between the Flu and a Cold
The flu and a cold have many similar symptoms. Colds are generally milder,
usually starting with feeling tired, coughing, sneezing and having a runny nose.
A fever may or may not be present. Headaches, muscle aches, watery eyes and
a sore or scratchy throat may also occur.
The flu tends to start suddenly. The same symptoms above for a cold may be
present but will be more severe. People who have had the flu often describe
feeling as if they have been run over by a truck!
There are no cures for colds and the flu, though if the flu is suspected, a doctor
can prescribe medicine to help limit the severity of the flu IF the symptoms are
reported in the very early stages. Antibiotics will not cure the flu or a cold
because they are caused by viruses, which antibiotics cannot fight.
What Can Help
• Stay home and rest, especially if a fever is present • Avoid second hand smoke, which can worsen symptoms • Drink plenty of fluids like water, fruit juices, and clear soups • Gargle with warm salt water a few times a day to help with sore throat • Throat spray or lozenges also may help relieve throat pain • Use saline (salt water) nose drops or sprays (available over-the-counter) for nasal congestion
It is usually the most helpful to treat the symptoms of the flu and colds. Many
remedies are available over-the-counter. A pharmacist can help by suggesting
the appropriate medication for the symptoms. The large variety of medications
available can be overwhelming! Generic medications are usually less expensive
and compare to the more expensive name brands. If any medications are to be
given in school by the nurse, please send them in the original container with a
note stating when they should be given.
When To Call The Doctor For Your Child
• High (above 102) or prolonged fever • Symptoms which last more than 10 days • Difficulty breathing; bluish skin color • Not being able to drink enough fluids • Earache or ear drainage • Changes in mental status • Symptoms that improve but return with fever, worse cough, colored secretions
