Hello Parents,
Can you believe that there are only 25 more days left of school? We still have so much to learn, and so much to do. I love this time of year - it is so exciting to see how much our class has accomplished in first grade so far! We have learned about the thirteen colonies and the Boston Tea Party this week. We have been writing encouraging notes for the sixth grade class as they are preparing for their RISE end of year test, and we have begun practicing our dance for the school Dance Festival. (We will perform on Wednesday, May 22nd.) DIBELS - We will begin the end of year DIBELS (now Acadience) reading test in a couple of weeks. Please plan for your child to be present during the week of May 1st - 8th. Thank you for taking the time to read with your child each day. FUN RUN PLEDGES - The date to turn in pledge money from the “Mustache Dash” Fun Run has been extended to Monday. Today our class had a popcorn party for earning 300 Hero Cards! That is a really fantastic accomplishment, and the kids enjoyed celebrating! The money that is raised from our fun run goes directly to our Hero Program: weekly prize drawings, ambassador lunches, and other rewards like our class enjoyed today. Thank you so much for supporting this program. It is so foundational to creating the unique, positive culture that we have here at Odyssey. Have a lovely weekend and a happy Easter celebration! P.S. I sometimes play learning videos as the class is getting ready for recess. They thought this video was SO funny, and I wanted to send it along so that you could share a laugh with us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcdiP8R_3Oo Attachments area
