Hello Parents.
I am proud of the great work that our class has been doing this week. We finished our fairy tales unit and learned about the parts of a plant, the various plant parts that we can eat, and the things that plants need to grow. AWARD ASSEMBLY - Can you believe we are in the home stretch of this first grade year? We had our Odyssey award assembly today to celebrate the end of the third term. Congratulations to Trey, who received the ACADEMIC AWARD for our class, and to Lily, who received the CITIZENSHIP AWARD. Congratulations also to Garrett, Maylee, Lexi, and Celine for their perfect attendance this term. SPRING BREAK - I hope that you all have a lovely spring break next week! Enjoy your time with family and friends, and safe travels to those of you who will be vacationing. I am so grateful for the opportunity to teach such a fantastic group of children. I will look forward to seeing everyone again after the break! Sincerely, Ms. Novotne

Hello Parents.
FIELD TRIP SUCCESS - Thank you so much to all of our wonderful volunteers who did such a great job leading our children at the Living Planet Aquarium. The kids had so much fun, and they were so excited to see so many of the animals that they have been studying. ST PATRICK’S DAY FUN - We had a fun today following the clues that the “leprechauns” left for our class. The kids worked well together to find the hidden treasure. I will post some pictures for you to see. Our first graders wrote some wonderful ideas today about “why I feel lucky.” I feel lucky to be teaching such a wonderful group of children, and I feel lucky to be working with such a kind, supportive group of parents. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to partner with all of you. Sincerely, Ms. Novotne Hello Parents,
We have some exciting plans ahead for our first-graders. FIELD TRIP: We have been learning about animal habitats, and at the conclusion of this unit, we will be taking a field trip to get a closer look at some of those animals in action. On Wednesday, March 15, all of the first grade classes will be going on a field trip to the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium, from approximately 8:50 a.m.-12:30 p.m. CHAPERONES: We had more requests than I could accommodate. Thank you so much to everyone for your generous show of support, and willingness to serve. PERMISSION SLIPS: Permission slips were sent home with your child earlier this week. Please return the signed permission slips by tomorrow, Friday, March 10th , if you have not already done so. NEW BOOKS: THANK YOU for your participation in the “Reach for the Stars Reading Challenge.” Our kids raised $99 credit toward books for our classroom! I ordered some easy readers and some word search books - I can’t wait to get them! MARCH AMBASSADOR: Congratulations to Carter, our March AMBASSADOR OF SERVICE. Throughout the month of February, Carter wrote notes at home and brought them to school for his classmates. He did this on his own initiative, with the simple intention of being kind and bringing some cheer to his friends. What a great example of service! WELCOME: We are happy to welcome our new friend, Sookie, to our class. She is a very sweet, bright girl, and it has been fun to getting to know her. Our class has done an excellent job of helping her out and making her feel welcome. Nice job, kids! THANK YOU! : A very sincere THANK YOU for all of the kindnesses you have showered upon Ms. Dastrup and myself during teacher appreciation week!! We feel so spoiled! The gifts, the meals, and the kind notes have been so thoughtful. Thank you Susan and Megan for all of the time and effort that you put into organizing the celebrations, and for creating such a beautiful door decoration! What a fantastic group of people I am privileged to partner with. You have made my first year here at Odyssey so wonderful! Sincerely, Ms. Novotne |
