The Wanderer

In Reading we have started our new novel, The Wanderer, by Sharon Creech. In this story our main character, Sophie, sails across the Atlantic with her three uncles and two cousins. They are sailing to England so that they can visit their grandfather. Last week we went over sailing terms, the parts of the boat, a map of their voyage, and our new vocabulary. This week we will continue to read the novel and take notes on their adventures.

Monday- No School
Tuesday- PTO Fundraiser at Fuddruckers

Spartan Pride!


Pack the Place was a huge success! Both the boys and girls basketball teams ended with victories. Students had all week to get excited about this event. We wore crazy hats on Monday, dressed as twins on Tuesday, and wore Lakeview colors the rest of the week. I was also one of the teachers that received a pie in the face on Thursday night. Overall it was a fun week.
