Highlights from the Week of April 21st at LCCS

Book Fair Success

The spring book fair was an incredible success.  Thanks to all the parents who volunteered to take shifts running the fair and to all the students and families that bought books.  It is wonderful to see the generosity of our school community in action to support reading.

First Grade Post Office

The first grade post office opened on Thursday.  Over the next few weeks our fist graders operate a post office for the school.  Everyone enjoyed writing letters and having mail delivered promptly and efficiently to classrooms or faculty mailboxes.  The post office is final component of the first grade's study of community and community institutions.  Please contact one of our first grade teachers Ms. Dynega at nicole-dynega@lccsnj.org, Ms. Megaro at stephanie-megaro@lccsnj,org, or Ms. Westley at sarah-westley@lccsnj.org  or stop by when the post office is open this week on Tuesday from 1:00-2:15 or on Friday from 9:00-10:15 in the library if you are interested in sending a letter to your child via the first grade post office.

NJASK for 6-8th Grades Monday 4-28-Thursday 5-1

Over the next four days our 6-8th graders will take the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge the state's standardized test.  Our students are incredibly prepared for the test due to the tireless work of our faculty.  If you are a parent of a middle school student please make sure (no matter how difficult it is) that you child has a good night's sleep from Sunday through Thursday morning and eats breakfast.  Homework will not be assigned for our middle school students from Monday through Thursday due to testing.

What is going on in our Classrooms

The 2nd grade students have identified research topics for their non-fiction "All About Books."
Some exciting topics are: The Titanic, Civil War, Helen Keller, Comets, Martin Luther King Jr., and Pompeii.

In Spanish the 4th graders are working on scripts focusing on using vocabulary about the human body.  In a few weeks they will perform their plays for their classmates.

The 8th grade students worked with our fourth graders on making pulleys as part of the 4th grade simple machine study and the 8th grade's study of physical science.
