We are all doing well!

Period 6 & 8 Book Report

Just a reminder that book reports are due next Tuesday for periods 6 & 8 reading classes. Students are to create a comparison poster board in which they will compare their book to our classroom novel, Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie.

Poster boards are required to have a minimum of 10 squares. Should be on large poster board with pictures easy enough for the whole class to see when presented in the front of the room.

The book report is worth 30 points and 10 of those points are based on a presentation grade.

I look forward to seeing some great reports. Students will be presenting their book reports beginning Tuesday, March 2nd!

Maternity Leave

In case you all don't know by now I am currently awaiting the arrival of Baby Hayes #2! I am due in about 2 weeks, but I feel like the baby could come at any time. Of course I will update you all once I have him or her.

I did want to take the opportunity to welcome Mrs. Becky Georges who will be my maternity sub while I am on leave. I will be on leave the rest of the school year and will no longer be available once I have the baby. Any questions about your child's grades, classroom behavior and/or curriculum should be directed to Mrs. Georges. Once Mrs. Georges starts officially in my position she will be given an e-mail address. You can contact the office at Lakeview to get that information.

It has truly been a pleasure working with this fine group of students this year. They are great students and I can't wait to see them next year as 8th graders.
