First, the serious stuff: Our staff had ALICE safety training with Lakewood Police Officer George Rasch last week. ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate, and is the philosophy that guides adults as we decide what to do in the event of an intruder in our school. Soon, a committee will be meeting here at Horace Mann to discuss our next steps in practicing the ways we can deal with an unwelcome guest. If you have any suggestions or questions for the committee, please contact me at 216. 529.4257 or merritt.waters@lakewoodcityschools.org.Google Expeditions: Last week, Horace Mann (and Grant) students had a wonderful opportunity to take a tech-y field trip. Many thanks to our Curriculum & Technology Teacher Mrs. Chanter for making it happen! Check out the story on our buidling web page: http://www.lakewoodcityschools.org/9/Home
How To: As part of the Writing Workshop curriculum, Horace Mann 1st graders are writing "How to Blow a Bubble," and they are having a great time! It is so neat to see their sentences and illustrations as they decide what steps are needed first, next and last. Even more fun is watching their teachers, Mrs. Harkness and Mrs. Cramer, follow the steps as written to see if a pink bubble is produced. I'm also proud to say students were responsible with being allowed to chew gum in school (can you imagine?)! Here is a picture of Mrs. Harkness' class holding up their pieces:
