As you all know, Lakeview is raising money for the Ride Janie Ride Foundation over the next two weeks (until April 23rd). This fundraiser is very personal and special to me because my brother-in-law, Anthony, who has been battling Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma since last year, was chosen as one of this years recipients. Anthony has been through dozens of chemotherapy treatments and spent months in the hospital during this past year. It has definitely been a very emotional journey for our family. In February of this year, Anthony underwent a stem cell transplant at Northwestern and we are patiently awaiting the results. We should know within the next month, if the transplant was successful.
My family and I truly appreciate all of the support that we have received throughout this process. I am truly touched at all of the thoughts, prayers, and encouragement from all of the staff and students here at Lakeview.
If you would like any additional information on Kayla, Anthony, and Michael or the Ride Janie Ride Foundation, please check out their website- www.ridejanieride.org.
I also know many of you were wondering how to address checks to donate- You can make the checks out to the Ride Janie Ride Foundation.
I can't wait to see the final fundraising results!

April Showers :)
After a restful spring break, everyone is back in "school-mode" for the final stretch of this school year!
In math, we spent the week practicing 1x1 digit and 2x1 digit multiplication. Next week, we will begin to practice 2x2 and 3x2 digit problems!
In RtI, we will continue to read The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle and, as we become closer to the plot/climax of the story, will be analyzing cause/effect.
Have a wonderful weekend and great week!

Spring Break!
I hope that everyone had a great week! I can't believe that it will be April before we return from Spring Break!
When we return, we will begin multiplication and long division in math. With today's use of calculators, many of us have forgotten how to do these operations with paper and pencil. :) In RtI Reading, we will continue to read our novel, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, in our literature circles.
Have a safe and relaxing Spring Break!

In RtI, we are continuing to read The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle and we will switch our literature circle roles at the end of the week.
Have a good week!

ISAT Week
We have finally come to the end of ISATS and I want to congratulate all of our students who worked so hard this week during testing!
Looking forward to next week, we will begin a new novel in RtI Reading, The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. We will be working in literature circles, rotating roles each week. Our main focus will be on summarizing and monitoring our own comprehension while reading. In math, we will continue to work with adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions!
