Week of January 27th - January 31st


Image result for January


Happy Friday! We are at the end of another wonderful week here at Lake Carolina!! Can you believe we are almost through the month of January?! Parent communication folders and report cards came home Friday. Remember to keep the report card and return the jacket signed. Please let me know if you would like to set up a conference. My planning time is from 12:50-1:30 if you would like to meet.

Also, by now, you should have received the communication about the fire alarm from Mr. Williams. We had a fun activity planned for our rock units but it was interrupted due to the alarm. Thanks to Mrs. Santana for donating the ice cream for this activity. For the other 2 rocks, I am looking for 2 bags of mini Airheads, Gummy Bears, plastic bowls, and 2 bags of Starbursts. If you are able to donate to the cause for Monday, please email me and let me know what you are donating. This keeps us from having too many of one item and not enough of another.

Let's continue the year out strong and I look forward to seeing everyone next week!!

Week of January 20th-24th

The second quarter has just ended. We will incorporate a study skill this coming week if the library pockets I ordered come in. We have had some talks about study skills and quite a few of us are still trying to get into the routine of how to study. I'm totally old school and there has been research that proves writing things out helps your brain remember more. We will work on creating flash cards. I only bought enough pockets to do one subject but you are welcome to continue the practice in other notebooks as well. I will begin them with the social studies notebook.

I'm also attaching pictures pre-winter break. I'm trying to get back on the blog as before so you can start back referring to the weekly blog.


Dates to Remember:
  • No school Monday
  • Quarter 2 ended Friday, the 17th
  • Wednesday, January 22: Class and Club Pictures (please wear appropriate club attire for pics)
  • Friday, January 24: Report Cards Issue

Weekly Curriculum
ELA

We will also work on a Say-Mean-Matter chart analyzing articles as well as reviewing character traits, fragments, complete sentences, S.T.E.A.L. chart (in reading notebook), main idea, and different perspectives.
