LCHS says thanks!

Parents, families and friends,

In place of our usual Woo Hoo Wednesday video I invite you to watch this heartwarming video clip created by your children. We are studying author's purpose and the power of word choice as it leads to reader's inferencing. Their task was to complete the sentence "LCHS says thanks (for)..." With only ONE WORD or short phrase. You would be surprised how challenging this is! They then had to think of an appropriate backdrop for their word card to create this video.  Check out their creativity - and grab a tissue. I can't get past slide four!

Acorn Squash!  Some of our Second Block students sampled brown sugar coated Acorn Squash today after we compared the inside to pumpkins we investigated.  Only two brave souls would try it so they earned an extra credit point! :)

WooHoo Wednesday -Election Results!

 Students did a GREAT JOB researching the candidates running for Governor of Virginia.  Many students changed the position they originally had from the commercials on TV after reading the facts.

Today we visited www.politico.com/2013-election/results/governor/virginia to look at results maps by county. Reading maps and evaluating data is an essential skill for students today. Pull up the map and look at it as a family.

Woo Hoo!! Great Job everyone!!
