Good Morning,

Today in our 2nd period support class we started a project that we will do throughout the week.  We are working on writing questions and answers that could be helpful to new students.  First we brainstormed things that students wish they had known before they started at Lakeview.  Some topics were dress code, how to open lockers, how to find out about closings/delays, how to try out for sports, and many more.  Each student chose one topic to write about.  Tomorrow we will work on a rough draft and then we will do some peer editing and revising before our final copy is due on Friday.

In 4th period Sheltered English we started a thematic unit on statistics today.  This will hopefully build vocabulary and skills to help with the current unit in math.  I am excited to try this idea. 

Next week is spring break.  No school all week. 

Have a wonderful week!

Good Afternoon,

Many thanks to those of you who have scheduled parent teacher conferences.  I, and your child's other teachers, look forward to meeting with you.  We know that we are a team working together to help your child reach his/her potential, and we always value the opportunity to meet with parents. 

I had a stern conversation with students today in my second period support class about missing work.  We are less than two weeks in to the new grading period and most students already have some missing work.  I have been setting aside some periods of time during our class for students to work on homework, but it is not enough to complete everything.  Students at this age must plan on doing some work outside of class. 

We still have two full weeks before spring break begins.  Please encourage your child to do his/her best.  April will have many interruptions due to Ohio AIR testing which all students will  participate in. 

As always, let me know if you have questions.  Stay warm in this crazy Ohio weather today!
