I'm Meredith Keegan. It is my second year at Lakewood, and I am excited to be working with your kiddos! I live in the Lakewood area with my husband and two dogs and I enjoy being a part of this community. I love to read, be with my family, and exercise.

Ms. Burnett
Hi, I am Amber Burnett! My homeroom is 4B this year. I teach Math and Science! I team with Mrs. Keegan. This year is my seventh year of teaching. I have a Bachelors of Business Administration from SMU and a Masters of Education from Texas A&M Commerce. I have two dogs named Dyson and Lady whom I adore. I enjoy spending quality time with my friends and family. Outside of school, my hobbies include volunteering, running, sports, reading, church, wake boarding, and traveling. I am very excited about this upcoming school year!

Thanks parents! We love teaching your fabulous kids this year!
Reading & Writing
This week in reading we are going to continue reading our novel, Inside Out and Back Again. The kids are loving the story and excited to continue reading it!
In Language Arts, we will be starting an expository writing prompt. The STAAR test focuses on expository writing, so we will begin practicing now and continue through the year to get ready!
*A quick reading note!
The kids have created genre folders that I will be keeping in the classroom. Any time they finish a book, they can add it to their genre folder. The goal is for all of the kids to read 34 (or more!) books this year in fourth grade. They will be bringing this folder to the library every other week, therefore I will not be sending them home so we don't lose them and lose all of our reading information from the year! Please let me know if you have any questions about the genre challenge/genre folders!
Social Studies
We are diving into our text book! We are so excited to be learning about Texas History this year!
Science
Math
Please be practice your basic multiplication facts with your kids at home. Flashcards are great and online multiplication practice is always a hit with your kids.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any questions regarding Math.

Tutoring
A note from Mrs. Keegan -
Starting Monday, October 9, I will be offering tutoring for the kids in any subject where they feel they need some extra help. I will be doing Mondays after school from 3:15 - 3:45 and then Thursday mornings from 7:15 - 7:45. This way everyone has an afternoon and a morning choice.
Thank you!
A note from Ms. Burnett-
Starting Monday, October 9, I will be offering tutoring on Wednesday mornings from 7:15-7:45. Students and parents must prearrange tutoring to make sure students have access to inside building prior to 7:40.
Students always have RTI time for tutoring as well periodically throughout the week.
Please remember to send healthy snacks for your child!
