A weekly update about what happened last week, what's happening this week, and what we have to look forward to in the future!

Welcome to another week at OMS. Let's hope this one goes 5 days! Students are continuing their studies from our Identity unit last week. This week's focus on skills will be understanding what textual evidence is, what good textual evidence is, and how to provide textual evidence when making claims about a piece of writing. Students are still following the same bellwork routine, as well as having both a reading log and vocabulary homework which are due on Fridays. Please ask your child about these assignments throughout the week :). If your child is missing work, you will be receiving an email or phone call in the coming week to let you know. Please look at power school once a week to help your child stay on the right path! Identity square presentations went well and EVERYONE presented without a hole opening up and swallowing them! Believe me, some of them were surprised at this :) Squares were put up on the bulletin board to make a "community quilt." We are working at understanding that we are a family of learners, and, even though you sometimes want to throw things at your family members, whether they be blood related or not, you want them to be happy and to do well. It's important for kids to recognize that their behaviors and attitude don't only affect them, but their family of learners as well. We can all learn so much more when we help and support each other! Student are using a number of online tools in class and for homework: if you would like to explore any of them, please follow the links below. You will be asked to make an account in order to access your "class." I have created a class just for parents. What you see in this class is exactly what your student sees in their class.
Look for the first book analysis project (book report) to come home on the 25th. As always, the instructions and any pertinent information will be posted on the website that day. Book analysis information will be found under projects. I hope everyone has a great week! Ms. L

Ms. Krista Langlois Imagine the craziest roller coaster ride you've ever been on...Now add super hormones, social angst, mother bears (and daddy bears), a big dash of "Dumb and Dumber" humor, ego, legislative red tape, gracious humility and humanity when least expected, tears, heartbreaks, hugs, high fives, knuckle bumps, amazing moments of learning, and a huge love for what you do...multiply that by about 200...shake it all up together and label it a calling...It's the greatest job in the world (even when it isn't)! There is nothing else I could imagine doing.
