Happy Spring Break!


I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing spring break!

Sunday, March 11, 2012

This has been an odd start to third trimester between ISAT testing and having two days off last week! But now, it's time to get into the swing of things in health class!

The sixth graders will begin the Mental and Emotional health unit this week. We will discuss personality, emotions and stress.

The seventh graders are still wrapping up testing on Monday. But, we will be starting the unit on decision making and goal setting.

Eighth graders are beginning the nutrition unit on Monday. We will work on this unit up through spring break!

Hope everyone got a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend!

Welcome third trimester health classes!

Dear Parents,

Hello! My name is Andrea Conley and I am your child’s health teacher this trimester. As an encore teacher, I have the privilege of working with many students for all three years that they attend Lakeview. This is my ninth year at the school and I love it here!

Many parents and students have questions and concerns regarding the sometimes “touchy” issues that my class covers. You are welcome to review the health curriculum by going to: http://www.ccsd66.org/health.htm Additionally, your child will be responsible for keeping up with a class folder. Feel free to take a look in their folder at any time for an update on our class work. I encourage discussions at home regarding the subject matter we are covering in class.

My late work policy is as follows:
*1 day late = 25% off the grade
* 2+ days late = 50% off the grade
* Students have until the end of the lesson/chapter/unit to turn in the assignment at which point the grade will become a 0 if not turned in.

If you have any questions or would like additional information at any time during the trimester, please don’t hesitate to call or e-mail me. You can contact me at aconley@ccsd66.org or 985-2700 x5013. Also, check out my blog if you get a chance! I post important class updates and information weekly. My blog site is: www.lakeviewhealth.blogspot.com

I am looking forward to an excellent trimester working with your child! Please sign and return the bottom half of this letter indicating that you have read the parent letter by Wednesday.

Thank you!
Andrea Conley
