Hello Parents,
It was so nice to talk with so many of you at the carnival yesterday. I am so glad that you could come! Thank you so much to all of you who donated prizes for our raffle baskets, or time to volunteer. I appreciate you so much! This week we are learning about electricity and about the American inventor, Thomas Edison. We are also reading stories about Anansi the spider. PARENT - TEACHER CONFERENCES: I would love to meet with you at parent-teacher conferences on Wednesday and Thursday, September 26-27. Please sign up for an appointment by Monday, September 24th. Here is the link to schedule a time: https://www.ptcfast.com/schools/Odyssey_Charter_School STUDENT OF THE WEEK SCHEDULE: I am attaching a copy of our Student of the Week schedule to this email. Please make a note of the date when your child will give a presentation to the class. If you have any conflicts with the date, please let me know as soon as possible so that I can adjust the schedule. READING CALENDAR / BOOK REPORT FORMS: I have sent reading calendars and book report forms home with each student. Both will be due on September 28th. Our book report genre for this month is FICTION. Please look at our OCS classical literature list to find an excellent book for your child. If there is a different book that you would like to choose, please send me an email for approval. You can find the book lists and a book list by genre on my website here: https://novotnenews.weebly.com/book-report-forms.html You can download an extra copy of our monthly reading calendars here: https://novotnenews.weebly.com/reading-calendars.html COMPUTER CLASS: A parent requested information on the typing program that our students are working on at school. It is called BBC / Dance Mat Typing. You can find the link here: https://www.bbc.com/bitesize/articles/z3c6tfr This is great practice for your child at home, as well. By the end of the first term, our class will switch to practicing math facts on Moby Max during our computer time. CONGRATULATIONS to Varuni, who is our September Ambassador of Excellence. Varuni is a very dedicated student who loves to learn and who gives her best effort to all that she does. I love to see the enthusiasm that she brings to school each day. Thank you, parents, for all of your wonderful support. Have a great week!
