Hello,

My name is Mr. Coffee and I will be filling in for Mrs. Mesker for the remainder of the year. I have recently graduated from Western Illinois University, obtaining a Bachelor of Sciences Degree, with a major in Special Education. I feel I'm more than ready to begin my career as a teacher and very thankful in having the opportunity to start at Lakeview Jr. High School. Although I'm still finding my bearings with the students and how the classes are managed, FEAR NOT! The 6th Grade Team has been more than helpful guiding me through these first few weeks of my arrival. There's no way I could ever replace a Mrs. Mesker, but I guarantee I'll be able to hold down the fort until she returns.



Here is the Math agenda for this week:

INTEGERS:

11-1 ~ Positive & Negative #'s (Monday)
11-2 ~ Comparing & Ordering Positive/Negative #'s (Tuesday)
11-3 ~ Adding Integers (Wednesday)
11-3 ~ Adding Integers cont. (Thursday)
Short QUIZ over sections 11-1, 11-2, 11-3 (Friday)

If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at: kcoffee@ccsd66.org

Thanks

My Last Full Week!

I will be starting my maternity leave beginning next week. I will be returning in the fall.

Mr. Kris Coffee will be covering my classes until I return. Mr. Coffee has been a member of our school community for many years and is a former Lakeview graduate. He will be in constant communication with me to ensure the curriculum is consistent and aligned to expectations. He has already been in to shadow me and learn about the classes and students I teach.

I am sure that Mr. Coffee will do an outstanding job with your children. Mr. Coffee can be reached by email: kcoffee@ccsd66.org
