Ken Gilsdorf, the president of our local VFW Post, attended our production and he was very impressed not only with our show, but also with the future plans of our seniors in the cast. He wants to make sure our seniors are aware of a scholarship opportunity through the VFW. I think he is very eager to offer one or more of these scholarships to our theatre seniors, so I highly encourage you all to fill it out. I attached the scholarship to this message. If you have any difficulties opening it, please let me know.

Mr. Lake

Good Afternoon,

I can’t believe we’ve already started the 4th quarter! Below are some important updates and dates to keep in mind, along with the skills we are working on this week:

• Spring Weather in Ohio: As we all know, Ohio's spring weather is unpredictable. Please ensure your student comes to school with a coat daily. Today, several students did not have one and had to borrow a coat from the office.

• Donuts with Grown-ups: Donuts with Grown-ups will continue this week.

• Chocolate Sales: All chocolate sales are due by April 7th.

• Grade Cards: Grade cards will go home this Friday.

• State Testing: April 15th and 16th are ELA state testing days. Please make sure your student is at school on time.

• Spring Break: Spring Break will be from April 12th to 21st.

Reading:
This week, students are focusing on reading and understanding fairy tales. We will work on using text evidence to respond to the text and practice summarizing. At home, you can reinforce this by having your student give a brief summary of the most important events or ideas from the text.

Grammar:
We are focusing on pronoun-verb agreement this week. There will be a small assessment on Friday.

Science:
Tomorrow, we will complete our adaptations unit. On Wednesday, we will begin learning about matter.

Writing:
The animal reports are completed and will be sent home as they are graded. We will begin working on writing multi-paragraph responses based on different passages, discussing how to pull information from the text to include in their writing.

Math:
On Friday, we began Unit 11 on perimeter, and we will continue working on it this week. Please make sure your student is completing the extra practice sent home nightly, as it’s a great review of what we covered in class.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Let’s make this last quarter a great one!

Dear Families,

People have created a variety of tools to help them get things done. Some of these tools make work easier, some save time, and some do both. Some tools are used to create works of art and some tools are used to build. This week, children will explore tools people use for both work and play.

This week’s Family Connections activities can be found at: https://lilypad2.frogstreet.com/public/resouce-detail/0e9e52d6-1349-4b79-ac32-5493132a0990

This week’s storybook, “Simple Machines” can be found at: https://lilypad2.frogstreet.com/public/resouce-detail/712b6301-8d7a-4704-a41c-225cda8b616a

Looking forward to an exciting week!

Sincerely,

Parents,

Donuts with Grown-ups kicked off today.   If you did not sign-up to attend  and were think about trying to attend.  They wanted us to pass along that they are not take any walk-in attendees. Only those that made a reservation will be able to attend.  Hopefully this will continue to be an annual event and you will be able to attend in the future if you

miss out this year.

Hello! Here is the information for the next two weeks:

Language Arts:

Our comprehension story for the week is Grace for President. We will be taking an assessment over this story on April 4th. Here is a link to the story:

Our vocabulary words will also be assessed on April 4th. Here are our words:

A champion is a person who has won a contest.

If you determined something, you decided it.

Issues are important problems or subjects that people talk about.

Promises are things you say that you will definitely do.

If you have a responsibility to do something, it is your job to do it.

Your rights are the things the law says you can do or have.

If you volunteered to do something, you offered to do it.

Votes are choices made by people to elect someone or opinions given to decide something.

Spelling Words will be coming home each Friday. This week we are working on 5.3 Spelling Words

Mathematics

We are currently working on Chaper 10, which covers 3-digit subtraction with regrouping. This can be a very difficult topic for 2nd graders. I would highly recommend working on the Math homework that comes home. I often tell the students that I am teaching them a variety of ways to subtract, they are always welcome to use the strategy that works best for them.

Social Studies into Science

We are starting to work on Economics today for Social Studies. We will be working on this for about two weeks. Afterwards, we will be moving on to Force and Motion in Science.

Have a great week.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions and/or concerns.

What a week! We started our unit in Math on #’s 15-19. We finished our March Madness Food bracket and the champion was Watermelon. We had a lot of upsets! Throughout all of this I talked to the kids about March Madness basketball and what an upset was. We celebrated finishing our bracket with basketball with Mrs. Greenlese’s class. We will enjoy watermelon sometime this week. 

We began our 2 week Zoo research project and learned about frogs, bears, giraffes and kangaroos. We had a Foodie Friday and made Lions. We celebrated day 120 with Emmit as our countdown hero. Friday we rotated classrooms and did fun St. Patrick’s Day activities.

Mr. Lake

Anyone who is missing you utensils, bag, or contact lenses) please see Mr Lake. If this message is blurry see Mr Lake, because I am guessing one of these items belong to you.

Every year we try new things as a musical team. Sometimes the things we try are successful, other times they don't work as well as we had thought. We want your input on your experience with this years show and with theatre at Lake in general. We will be gathering this data as we plan for future productions. We also want to gather your positive experiences to share with board members and stakeholders as we have some major expenses in our theatre in the next ten years. It is much easier to get grants, donations, and other allocated funds when the decision makers of those funds hear how our program has had a positive impact the students and families that are involved.

Winter Sports Awards are tomorrow, Tuesday, March 18th at 6p. Please dress accordingly for the formal event. As in the past, awards will begin in the HS auditorium for major awards and then split into small groups for sport-specific awards. 

There are still a few players needing to turn in uniforms. Please have all items washed and in a plastic bag. Items to turn in include: White jersey, white shorts, navy jersey, navy shorts, Nike practice jersey, additional practice jerseys that have been on loan due to forgetting yours, any additional game shorts on loan.

More information will be shared in the near future with returning players about spring shooting/skill work opportunities. Those times will not begin until the end of March but will follow a similar schedule as workouts did last spring.

Anyone interested in any sets/props/costumes from the show, please fill out this google form. I make no promises, we will close the form on Tuesday the 18th.

I will send out some business stuff later about things left at the school and some other loose ends, but that’s not fun so we will deal with that later.

I want to tell you all that you put on a terrific show. You rose to the occasion and put on some of the best performances we have seen on our stage. I am super excited for what next year will bring. 

Tomorrow we have school. Please plan on coming to school. I don’t want our teachers and administrators think that musical students have a sense of entitlement that they don’t need to be at school the day after the show closes. Come to school tomorrow with pride. Let’s all wash our show shirts tonight and all wear them tomorrow to school as a unified cast. 

I appreciate all the work you put into The Addams Family. 

It’s family first and family last.

Have a great day!
