It's hard to believe that we're only two weeks away from Winter Break! Time is flying!

7th grade will have their first test on Monday. Students have been working on short and long term goals and discussing how accomplishing goals can improve ones' self-esteem. The first folder check will also be Monday. Students need to make sure they are organized and ready to turn it in. The first folder check will be the first "major grade" in the gradebook for the trimester!

6th grade will continue working on the mental/emotional health unit. They are doing a fun activity in class today called "self-esteem boosters." Be sure to ask students all about it!

8th graders should be recording all of their meals they eat over the weekend. We will be continuing to work on the nutrition unit up until break. Next week we will be in the computer lab doing a project where students analyze their diets. Wonder how their nutrition habits will compare to the recommendations on health eating from the FDA?!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Stay warm!

2nd trimester off to a great start!

Second trimester is off to a great start! The new classes have been going on for a week now and everyone seems to be getting into the groove of things in their new classes. Parents, please remember that all students are required to maintain a daily "health folder." At anytime if you are interested in what we are doing in class, the health folder would be an excellent resource for your child to share with you!

Toy Drive

The toy drive was a HUGE success! We collected TONS of toys that will help children in need to have a happier holiday season! Way to go Lakeview students!
