Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is an exciting day at Lakeview, we have our PBIS assembly. The teachers will be playing in a volleyball game against the girl's volleyball team. After the staff game is over, the girl's team will play the boy's football team. Then in the final game the volleyball team will play a team of students made up of our Spartan Star winners. I look forward to the all of the fun!

A Peek at Next Week

Next week we are finishing up Unit 14 in our Language! program. We will be done reading about artists, and when we come back from Thanksgiving break we will begin our unit on heroes.

Pen-Pals

This year my students are pen-pals with Mrs. Nino's class at Prairieview. One of our goals is to practice letter writing. The Lakeview students will also practice being good role-models, while Mrs. Nino's 4th and 5th grade class will become accustomed to coming to Lakeview. So far our students have exchanged two letters and they met for the first time today. Mrs. Nino's class came to Lakeview where they got a tour of the school, and students interviewed each other over rice-crispies and juice. Overall I think it was a great experience!

Art

This week we started Unit 14 in our Language! series. The content of all of our readings has been centered around art. We are reading about the evolution of art, how to become an artist, and about different artists. While we are reading out loud we are focusing on reading with expression and using proper inflection.
