Go Bulldogs!
Wecome back to Lakeside!
Welcome to a new school year at Lakeside. Remember, I am a part of all that I have read. When you look at common ingredients to success in this world, reading is singularly important, and in order to become a successful reader you must practice. To become a better ball player or to succeed in ballet, one must practice. Learn to turn off that TV or video game and discover the wonder literature has to offer.
Dear Parents,
I invite you to call or visit if you have any questions about the class. On the first day of school I will send home class information that I would like you to read and sign. These will be inside of your student's grammar tech manual, a folder containing information students will use all year. Key items to remember:
Weekly Progress Reports !!!!
I issue an academic progress report to every student every Friday. This will show each assignment and assigned grade for the subjects spelling, reading, language, and language. Ask your son or daughter to see this.
For reading classes I write the assignments and due dates for the whole week on the board every Monday. Students write this information in their homework notebooks on Monday morning.
No school Monday!!
Assignments for this week: 9/07/10
Note about assignments: All students write down their assignments in their planning books purchased here at school. Every Monday I write the homework on the board. It is there all week. This site serves as a reminder and resorce for parents.
LANGUAGE ARTS
1&2, 5&6 PERIODS

LANGUAGE- No DOL this week!
Rewrite each sentence on binder paper. Due Wednesday. Know the rules of grammar! DOL is a sheet I will hand out Monday. Students rewrite 10 sentences on binder paper. Pay attention to the rules on the left side of each sentence. This will give you clues as to errors. Be careful. Each error is two points. We will be discussing these rules all year long and writing about them in our grammar tech manual. There's no mystery about grammar. Just like your times tables, you just have to know and study them. This is due Wednesday or before. Try to finish it in class.

Guitar 
PERIOD 8- GUITAR/STUDY HALL
Students can drop off their guitars in my class in the morning, but they must be taken home the same day. Thank you, Glen Ogden.
Students will bring their guitars Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. On Thursday we will have study hall. Fridays will be reading or chess.
Study Hall: All students must come prepared to study hall. You will need your homework or an AR book. This is a time to study and complete your homework not to talk.
Guitar: Those of you who are taking lessons in guitar must have these items:
Guitar and case
Optional electronic tuner. You can purchase these at any music store for as little as $14.
I will issue each of you a workbook and music to study. Try to practice at least three times a week. 10-20 minutes a night is fine. Turn the TV off. Live a little.
