December is here!

It is amazing how quickly the weather can change to from mild to freezing! I don't know if I am quite ready for this change but unfortunately there is not much we can do to stop it! :)

As we move futher into the second trimester, we are wrapping up several things in our LA/Rdg classes.

In reading, we will be finishing up Sign of the Beaver and beginning to work on our final project for the novel. In language arts, we will be finishing up the verb unit and taking a test on Friday.

We had another exciting week in RtI Reading, too, practicing our fluency with the Readers Theater play, The Mystery Spot. We had a lot of fun! Here are some pictures of our actors! :)

Thanksgiving Week!

Today, students had a surprise assembly, the Jessie White Tumblers, as a reward for all their hard work with PBIS this school year. Students have been respectful and earned 3.5 lbs of Spartan Stars so far! :) Our combined goal for the end of second trimester will be 10 lbs.! The Tumblers were fantastic and the students really enjoyed the event. Congratulations to the Lakeview students on all of their hard work!

Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving break! See you all on Monday! :)

Second Trimester Begins!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful first week of the second trimester! As we all start anew with clean slates and perfect grades, lets all remember how important our education is and put forth our best effort and dedication!

In Language Arts next week, we will be taking our Sentence test on Monday and completing a writing activity on Tuesday. In Reading we will be doing a culminating activity for Sign of the Beaver Chapters 11-15.

Have a great weekend!

Veteran's Day Week

This week, I hope that we all we spent time reflecting upon and thanking all of those Veterans who have served and protected our country. In RtI this week, we read the story, Scars and Stripes, that introduced us to two teenagers who lost their father's in the Vietnam War and their visit to the Vietnam Memorial. It was a very touching story and we had great class discussions!

Next week, in Language Arts, we are beginning our sentence unit. This will take us until Thanksgiving Break and we will have our unit test on Monday, November 22. In Reading we will continue to read Sign of the Beaver and explore how our characters are changing throughout the book.

Have a wonderful weekend!

November Updates

As the temperatures took a dive this week, we also dove further into our narratives in Language Arts this week. Next week we will be editing and typing our rough drafts. Our final narrative will be due Monday, November 15th.

In reading, we will continue to read the Sign of the Beaver and have a Chapter 1-10 quiz on Wednesday.

Don't forget to change your clocks back an hour on Saturday night! Have a great weekend!
