ATTENTION:

Don’t forget…TOMORROW, September

Graders.

LCM Watch D.O.G.S.

If you are interested in being part of our

LCM Watch D.O.G.S., please see details

on our school web page or email Mr.

Klimas. We are in need of some great

male role models that will keep this

program alive! It would be wonderful to

have some Room 7 Dads, Grandpas, etc.

who are able to volunteer a day here or a

day there….your kids will love having you

at school!

Grandparents’ Day

This Friday, September 18th is

Grandparents’ Day at LCM! I will email a

separate invitation for you to pass along

to your child’s grandparents. Activities

include a special Friday Flag Salute, a

classroom visit, and time to shop at our

LCM Scholastic Book Fair! I look

forward to meeting your families.

Language Arts:

AR (Accelerated Reader):

Your child completed his/her

first STAR Reading

Assessment. I will use this data

to help your child set individual

classroom reading goals. This

goal will be separate from our

LCM Library/School Wide AR

Goals that are recognized by

Mrs. Schenider. There will be

more information shared with

you soon regarding your child’s

point and percentage goal for

the first half of the school

year.

(Reading Information): We will

complete our “Where in the

World is California?” flip books.

Students should be able to

name our planet, hemispheres,

continent, country, state,

county, and city. We will use

lines of latitude and longitude

to name an absolute location.

The reading focus this week will

be to identify the main idea and

supporting details from

informational text.

(Reading Literature):

We will begin our study of

Greek Mythology this week. We

will focus on identifying

allusions within the text. For

example, in the story, “King

Midas”, the Midas Touch alludes

to good luck or having a “golden

touch”.

Read Aloud: We will begin

reading the novel, Harry Potter

and the Sorcerer’s Stone by JK

Rowling. This is an exciting

children’s fantasy novel.
