Literacy Night is Next Week
Literacy Night is Thursday, May 12th. This year’s theme is “Our Own Stories.”
Many fun activities have been planned! Author Matt de la Peña will be here to read his books aloud, and everyone that attends Literacy Night gets to choose a free book to take home.
Even though the RSVP deadline has passed, you and your family are welcome to attend.
We hope to see you at 5:00 p.m on May 12th at South Milwaukee High School.
Absence Reporting
If your child has any symptoms (including non-Covid symptoms), the only way to report the student's absence is by using this link. You will need to complete this by 8:30 a.m. anytime your student will be absent because of illness. If multiple students from your household will be absent due to illness, you will need to complete it once for each student. This link is available on the Lakeview website as well as in this family newsletters. This will help us be more responsive to you, our families, with our Covid protocols.
If your student is not missing school due to symptoms (for example, a dentist appointment or a family vacation), please continue to call the Lakeview office directly.
4K Registration for 22-23 is now open
To be in 4K next year, the child must be 4 years old on or before September 1st. All day 4K is available at all four elementary schools and half day 4K is available at Blakewood. Although it is not "first come, first served" our 4K programs will fill up quickly, especially the all-day 4K programs. So it is best to get your registration in right now instead of waiting.
Here is a link to the information about 4K registration. All incoming 4K students are registered as "new students" (rather than "adding a student to your family).
Contact Lakeview if you have any questions about 4K registration for 2022-2023.
This Week's Golden Lions!
There were 25 Golden Lions awarded to students since our last newsletter. Here are the descriptions for each of those Golden Lions. Our students demonstrate GREAT character at Lakeview!
• [Name] demonstrated being respectful to himself and others when he took a break when he wasn't feeling his best self. He came back when his body felt calm and ready to learn and dove right back into his learning. [Name] also made sure to transition back in quietly and really listen to instruction so that he could work independently. Keep it up!
• Jackson returned from gym a little late yesterday. When he walked into the room, he noticed that everyone was following a direction. Jax approached me and asked if I could repeat the directions for him. Thank you for being responsible!
• Today during Writer's Workshop, students were asked to listen to a text, pay attention to the story elements, then write a summary. Landen followed all of the steps and stayed focus, completing his assignment right on time! Way to go, Landen.
• Each week, some students have jobs that help keep our classroom running smoothly. This week, Ethan's job was taking out the breakfast garbage. He politely waited until everyone was finished eating, then did his job without any reminders from me. Thanks for being responsible, Ethan.
• Sophie is always willing to help kids during ST Math time. Students are sometimes unsure of what to do on some problems or are unsure of how to do the work. Sophie is always willing to come to the rescue! Thanks Sophie!
• Cooper helps another student with exchanging his drawer on a daily basis. He never has to be asked... he just sees that someone needs help, and he steps up. Thanks Cooper!
• Amina has been doing a great job in Library lately. Amina, I appreciate that you have really been listening during read alouds and you have been following directions. Overall you have been a pleasure to be around. Thank you for choosing kindness. - Mr. Franecki
• We are studying about the tens place and the ones place in Math. Today Delloyd was very focused and although the work was hard, he had a "can do" attitude and tried his best!
• Henry has great self-control! If someone next to him is trying to talk to him, when he/she should be listening, Henry ignores the student. He has super will-power and tries hard to stay engaged.
• Eliana recognizes all the snap words on the yellow cards and now knows all 136 first grade words! Congratulations!
• Brooke recognizes all the snap words on the yellow cards and now knows all 136 first grade words! Congratulations!
• Henry recognizes all the snap words on the yellow cards and now knows all 136 first grade words! Congratulations!
• (5 awards) During the kickball game, Bentley, Nolan, Robert, Evan, and Gio showed a great attitude while playing. He was the perfect model of good sportsmanship....I was so proud to see this during our game.
• (6 awards) Londyn, Aubree, Kendyll, Laila, Legend, and Payton Worked SO hard and showed exceptional perseverance during MAP testing. WAY TO GO!
• Ahmed was very engaged and respectful in Library today. I asked him to work quietly with a partner and he continued to do that for much longer than expected. I could tell that the answers that he came up with were well thought out and he really put forth his best effort.
I appreciate it Ahmed! - Mr. Franecki
• Gio was very engaged and respectful in Library today. I asked him to work quietly with a partner and he continued to do that for much longer than expected. I could tell that the answers that he came up with were well thought out and he really put forth his best effort.
I appreciate it Gio! - Mr. Franecki
