Thank You & Current Events Project Update

Thank you to the Lakeview PTO for a wonderful Teacher Appreciation Week! You provided great meals, snacks, and breakfasts! Thanks for thinking of us and all of the effort you put into making us feel special this week!

We are more than halfway through the allotted time to complete the Current Events News Broadcast Project! The students have had about 4 days of class time to put their project together, and this past Wednesday was a check-in day to make sure students are on track. You have heard from me if they're not. Although many students are choosing to meet outside of school, the project is designed so that the work can be split up and completed individually. If you'd like more information on the project, all of the directions and rubric the students received can be found on Parent Connect.

Just a reminder, if a group is choosing to record their project (which is NOT a requirement) it is advised that the bring in their final project a day or 2 early to make sure it plays properly at school. This means students should be bringing in their final project to check no later than Thursday or Friday of last week.

A common error in the past (while using Windows Movie Maker) has been forgetting to do the final step: "Save Movie File." If this step is not complete, the project will not play anywhere but the computer on which the movie was created.
