Weekly Update from Mr. Lucy

I enjoyed meeting many parents last night. Remember, if you have questions or concerns email or call me. My email is timothy.lucy@bellinghamschools.org and my phone is 676-6460 extention is 4347.

We launched Reading and Writing Workshops this week. Yesterday we began our first writing activity, "Nothing Ever Happens at Whatcom". The targets include:
2a  I can make my topic and purpose clear to my reader.
and
2b  I can include important and interesting details.

Today, the students moved through a dozen stations throughout the building, noting fun details like smells, sounds, feelings. They have been encouraged to use them in their first writing project.

Students are assigned home reading 30 minutes per night five nights per week.

I will begin  Social Studies next week.

Extended learning is scheduled to begin on Monday. Picture day is scheduled to Friday, September 23rd. Picture packets will go home Monday.

Thanks,
Mr. Lucy
