Hello Parents,
It has been a busy week and I want to remind you of a few upcoming events. HALLOWEEN COSTUMES / CLASSICAL PARADE - On October 31 we will have a Classical Character Parade here at Odyssey. You are welcome to come and watch the parade - it is a lot of fun to see all of the creative costumes. Join us in the gym from 9:00 - 9:45. At Odyssey, we celebrate classical characters for Halloween, so we are asking your child to dress as a historical figure, or as character who originates from a book. We will not allow any gory, violent, or inherently evil characters, nor will we allow any weapons, masks, or whole face make-up. Please complete the COSTUME FORM that I sent home with your child and return it by this Friday, October 13. The form simply lets us know the character that you have chosen. (See the Classical Characters PDF below if you do not have a copy.) Students who want to participate in the costume parade need to complete our OCTOBER BOOK REPORT and turn it in by Friday, October 27th. ODYSSEY T-SHIRT ORDERS - Odyssey T-shirts are now available for purchase. These T-shirts may be worn by students every Friday (with uniform bottoms). If you would like to purchase an Odyssey T-shirt, please complete your order online. All orders are due by WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18th. This is the ONLY time this school year that you will have the opportunity to purchase any Odyssey apparel. Please purchase shirts in your ASSIGNED HOUSE COLOR. I sent a form home with your child last week, letting you know your house color, but if you have any questions, please contact the front office. VISION SCREENING - The students participated in a vision screening this week. If there are any areas of concern, the school will let you know. KEYBOARDING SKILLS - Each week we have a time allocated for computer use. The students are practicing their typing skills, and it is exciting to see their progress. Many of the students are interested in practicing at home, so I wanted to send you a link to the program that we use: http://www.bbc.co.uk/guides/z3c6tfr (BBC Dance Mat Typing). OCTOBER BOOK REPORT - Our genre for this month’s book report is historical fiction. I have attached a list of books by genre from our OCS book list, but please remember that there is a wide selection of books that would be great for your students. You can check with your local librarian, or stop by our library here at the school to find a great selection. Please have the Paper Bag Puppet book report turned in by FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27th. THANK YOU - Thank you to all of you who donated supplies and provided help for our Human Body CET! The students really had a great time learning about their bodies. Your support makes such a difference! AMBASSADOR OF LOYALTY - Our character value for the month of October is LOYALTY, and it has been fantastic to see our class rallying around each other in an effort to encourage and support one another. Congratulations to Leonel, our Ambassador of Loyalty. Leonel is a kind friend and he has a genuine concern for the interests and well-being of his classmates. We are proud to have him in our class. I want to let you know how much I love teaching your kids. Thank you for letting me know about your questions and concerns. Please remind your kids to talk with me and let me know if they have any problems at school. I am here to help and support them, and I am happy to help them find the solutions that they need.
