Week 33: April 1-April 5

Wow! Spring is in the air and there aren't too many weeks left together! We are in full swing preparing for our end-of-level assessment (RISE), reviewing our Language Arts Skills and learning new strategies to use. I'm hoping to give students a wide array of strategies to help them show what they know on the test and, most importantly, prepare them for middle school.

Please, please attend school. Assignments are piling up and I really want students to leave LRIS feeling confident and prepared for middle school. Frequent absences will make that very difficult. If students are late on any online assignment (Listenwise, NoRedInk) they MUST email me and tell me the name of the assignment they did late so I know to go back and check. If I do not hear from them, I don't know to look. I'd like students to do this so they take responsibility for their missing work.

Keep reading! I love seeing students qualify for our awesome end-of-year party for our iRead Club, it's an amazing accomplishment. Thanks again for the ongoing support. I really do enjoy working with these awesome kids!

Congrats to these amazing readers who are in the iRead Club: Kenzie M., Caden M., Emri T., Ava A. These readers received a candy bar, awesome t-shirt and will be invited to join us for our iRead Party, which is epic!!

I enjoyed a fun day with these wonderful writers at the WCSD's Creative Writing Workshop. The focus was writing about nature...while in nature. We had a marvelous day just outside of Zion National Park in Springdale. Each writer came away with great ideas, inspiration and pieces almost ready to publish...and a lot of knowledge about the desert tortoise. 

They represented Lava Ridge so well!!
