Google Classroom

I'm excited to use Google Classroom in social studies class this year!  Mrs. Foellmer shared this excellent online educational tool with teachers in August, and I'm happy to see the many ways in which it will benefit student learning and organization.  We spent class time last week setting each student up in a Social Studies Google Classroom (custom to 6th Grade Social Studies at Lakeview), looking at features, and practicing using Google Classroom.  Parents, I encourage you to have your sons and daughters share their log in information with you, and have them "show" you around the classroom.  I plan on presenting Google Classroom and sharing how we're using it in class during Curriculum Night on Sept. 16 as well!  Google Classroom will be a place where students have access to supplemental materials, deadlines, assignments, and are even able to turn some of the assignments in electronically!  This is a new tool, so I'm looking forward to exploring, learning, and experiencing Google Classroom together with the students!

Welcome to Lakeview!

Welcome to Lakeview Jr. High!  It was wonderful to get to meet many parents and students at the District Open House this morning.  We're excited to have you as part of our team and look forward to an exciting year where students will gain more knowledge, competency, and self-esteem!  Students will be receiving a general overview letter for parents to look over and sign on the first day of school.  I look forward to sharing more about sixth grade social studies and meeting more parents during our Open House on Tuesday, September 16!
