HALLOWEEN HAPPENINGS

The IMC celebrates Halloween with three special events. First, the Halloween Trivia Contest runs through October 31st. Answer trivia questions from the bin in the IMC. There are 52 different questions. Answers do not have to be incomplete sentences. Bring your answers to Miss Hagensee. Each correct answer earns a prize from the witch's cauldron on Miss Hagensee's desk. All answers are based on information found in World Book Online.

Second, in honor of its 75th anniversary of , come listen to Orson Welles's War of the Worlds radio broadcast during study on Wednesday, October 30th and Thursday, October 31st. The hour-long broadcast is divided into 2 parts so listeners can hear the entire story. Passes for both days are available from Miss Hagensee.

 

Finally, the 6th grade ELA classes will enjoy a spooky story from Patrick Carman's 3:15 Things That Go Bump in the Night. The story begins with an online audio introduction, followed by the story read aloud by Miss Hagensee, and concluded with an online video ending to finish the story.

Visitors are welcome to join in any of these events. Interested guests may e-mail Miss Hagensee at shagensee@ccsd66.org for specific times. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

LAPTOP COMPUTERS

Please care good care of the laptops. This week Mr. Hummel check all the laptops for missing key caps. He ordered a lot of replacements! AND he replaced all the missing key caps. The laptops are now as good as new...but they won't stay that way if you don't take good care of them. If you see someone messing with the laptops, please remind the student about taking good care of the laptops. If that doesn't work, please tell a teacher. Since Lakeview started buying laptops, there have been some serious problems. Several laptops have been dropped or slipped on a desk causing the monitor screens to break. This is not a cheap repair. Also the IMC staff has often found laptops in the carts that have not been shut down and powered off properly and are still running. The heat from operating laptops can build up in the traveling carts which worries the librarians about the possibility of a fire. All of Lakeview depends on each student using the laptops properly and with special care so that they are ready to use whenever a teacher signs them out. Please help keep our laptops running!
