Happy Halloween!

Another week has flown by and I know many of you are looking forward to this Halloween weekend!

In Language Arts next week, we are beginning to write our narrative. For Monday, please have your top three choices chosen for your narrative topic. In reading, we are continuing to read Sign of the Beaver and will have a short quiz over chapters 1-10 at the end of the week.

Reminder: No School-Tuesday, November 2nd!

Have a safe and happy Halloween weekend!

Parent Teacher Conferences

It was great to see all of the parents at Parent Teacher Conferences last night! The support team that the parents in our district provide is so beneficial in guiding our students to success.

Looking ahead to the next few weeks, we will begin writing our narrative in Language Arts and practice writing, editing, and revising our work. Our main goal will be brainstorming this week.

In reading, we will continue with the Sign of the Beaver. Our goal this week is to strengthen our vocabulary skills and ability to use context clues to determine the definitions of new words.

On a personal note, Dominic is already 3 1/2 months old (I can't believe how quickly time is going!) He is starting to sit up with support, which is very exciting! I attached a recent picture for those of you who have asked! :)

Have a wonderful weekend!

Fall Fun

It is hard to believe that October is halfway over already!

In Language Arts next week we will finish up our Adjective Unit and take a test on Friday. In Reading, we have begun to read Sign of the Beaver and will be focusing on summarizing and main ideas throughout theses chapters. Finally, in RtI, we will be reading The Stranger and focusing on vocabulary strategies.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Although I have only been back at Lakeview for a short week, I am already back in the school routine! I am very excited to see everyone again and am looking forward to a great year! Thank you to all of the staff and students for making my transition back to Lakeview a great one!

Looking ahead to next week, we will be continuing the Adjective unit in Language Arts. There will be a quiz on Friday. In Reading, we are beginning our first novel of the year, Sign of the Beaver! We will preview the book on Tuesday and begin reading on Thursday!
