MEAP AND MORE
MEAP TESTING for grades 3-5 will begin on Tuesday, October 14. Please avoid scheduling outside appointments for students during our testing days: October 14, 16, 21, and 23. Make up tests are scheduled for Wednesdays and the week of October 27.
OUR MUSIC VIDEO project continues to evolve. We will shoot the last video clips this Wednesday, so students should wear clothing without logos. We viewed a "rough draft" of the project today after 6 hours of editing this weekend. Please sign and return the release form your child is bringing home today. The final editing will begin this weekend and we'll let you know when the video goes live on the eInstruction site.
THANK YOU for making Parent-Teacher Conferences very successful. Each student in our class was represented at a conference last week. It's all about community and commitment!
BLOGGING among staff members at Lake Hills is increasing. Our reading specialist, Patti Konarska, has some good things to share in her recent post about Writer's Workshop. Click HERE to visit her blog, The Reading Room.
CLASSROOM WRITERS have now chosen one of more than a half-dozen "seeds" from their Writer's Notebook to develop into a narrative essay. We are in first draft mode this week and students should be narrowing their focus to a single event or short period of time in this first narrative. Students may bring drafts home for assistance, but should always KEEP all their writing.
WE ARE COMPLETING our second chapter in social studies and will review this Wednesday morning. Our test on Indians of North America will be next Monday, October 20.
MY NEXT READ ALOUD is an entertaining historical fiction book by Hope College professor, Albert A. Bell, Jr. A captivating tale, The Secret of the Lonely Grave, educates students on the issues of war, slavery, and the Underground Railroad.
