Here are the Lakeview Golden Lions for this week. We had 13 examples of being safe, respectful, and engaged!
• Ahmed is doing a great job of engaging in his literacy work. During both reading and writing, he is pushing himself to write more and expand on his ideas. He also regularly checks in with me to make sure that he is meeting expectations. Ahmed, you have grown so much as a reader and writer since the beginning of 4th grade; I can't wait to see what the rest of 5th grade has in store for you! Keep up the great work!
• During carpet time and table time, Izzy has shown that she is a whole body listener. Her eyes are always on the speaker and her body is calm and ready to learn. Great work, Izzy! Way to be a bucket filler and make good choices!
• Amir did a great job staying engaged in music even when that was hard. Great job Amir!
• Today during Reader's workshop, the expectation was that Kyeli jot her strong prediction on a post-it note. Kyeli didn't have one, so she found an index card to write her jot on instead. Kyeli is a problem-solver. This is an important lifelong skill. Way to go, kiddo!
• Kassidy was safe and respectful in Art class. During work time, Kassidy used her tools properly and put them away when it was time to clean up. When Ms. DH called the class's attention, Kassidy stopped talking and showed she was actively listening, with her eyes on the speaker. Keep it up, Kassidy!
• Frankie was safe with her tools in Art class. She used her crayons properly and put them back in the bucket when it was clean-up time. Frankie was also safe with paint, and kept her hands very clean while she was stamping with shapes and paint. She followed directions and listened actively to the teacher. Keep up the great work, Frankie!
• Lerice was very engaged in creating his 3D animal form in Art class. He used his tools safely to create a rabbit. After he created the basic form, Lerice took his time to add greater detail to his rabbit. Way to take ownership of your learning, Lerice!
• Valerie was very engaged in Art class. She took her time and worked independently to create a 3D form of an Axolotl. When Valerie was finished building her Axolotl, she used markers to add more color and detail to her work. Keep it up, Valerie!
• Didi has returned all Math assignments he took home to finish, as well as all homework assignments. Wow! Way to take responsibility for your learning Didi. I'm noticing when you're in class, you are growing as a mathematician.
• Ravyn has been doing a great job listening to instructions during Art class. She has used all tools safely, and cleans up when it's time to put tools away. When the teacher is talking, Ravyn listens actively, with a calm body. Keep it up, Ravyn!
• Kiyus was safe with his body and tools in Art class. Kiyus sat on his chair and used his paint properly to stamp shapes on his paper. He asked Ms. DH if he could give the class a reminder: "Everyone remember to use tools safely." Thank you Kiyus, for setting a positive example for your classmates!
• Thank you Carter for following classroom procedures while getting out materials! That is so important especially since you are the line leader in our class!
• Frankie is always ready to learn and like she says, "I got your back, Mrs. Nicholson":)
