Welcome Back

Dear Students and Teachers,

Welcome back to school. If you are looking for lesson plans, games, or activities on this site, my LTUSD Skydrive has been deleted. However, I do have a backup Skydrive, so please email me at julbutler@aol.com if you would like a link to an activity.

Have a great year!
- Mrs. Butler

Happy Summer!

Link to our summer travels.

Dear Students,

Thank you for a fun, educational year! As you go through middle school, high school, and college please remember that a good education is the key to success and will help you accomplish your dreams. You may have setbacks, but please do not give up on yourself. Do your homework and read, read, read! Have the courage to do the right thing, speak up for what you believe in, know what you are talking about, tell the truth, and trust yourself enough to pursue what you are passionate about.

Please stay in touch with me. You can contact me at julbutler@aol.com . I have had this email for 21 years! I love hearing from my former students, some of whom  have overcome incredible obstacles to graduate from college. If you ever need someone to talk to, please do not hesitate to write to me.

I will miss you!
Love,
Mrs. Butler

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (PowerPoint) by Robert Frost Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.
