We'll soon be starting our final school week of 2007. I am amazed at how quickly those four months flew by. Thank you to all the parents who donated cookies and food to our annual cookie exchange. Wow!! As a first year teacher, I was impressed and so thrilled that I didn't have to bake them... District 66 parents are the best!
As you know, we attended The Nutcracker on Thursday at North Central College. It was quite enjoyable and put us all in the Christmas spirit! Ask you child about it...
Coming up this final week before the holiday break:
Spelling: Holiday words – Test Friday
Reading: Rather than start a new unit, we will focus on reading strategies from our ISAT workbooks. We will also be reading a TFK on Monday and taking our usual “quiz.”
Language Arts: We will conclude our study of verbs with a Unit 3 test on Thursday.
Social Studies: We will begin to read and take notes on Chapter 8, The Road to War. The students should enjoy learning about the causes of the American Revolution.
Science: We continue our study of the various body systems.
Math: (Mrs. Klacza's math students, only) Our Chapter 5 test will be Monday, 12/17. Tuesday I plan to go over those tests with the students and we will work on a few “T charts” before the holiday break.
Important Notes:
Holiday concert (band and choir) will be Monday at 1:15 here at PV. Parents are invited to attend!
Bowling field trip will be on 12/20 in the morning
Polar Express movie field trip to the Tivoli Theater will be on 12/21; PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR CHILD WILL NEED A SACK LUNCH THAT DAY!!
Holiday break will be from 12/22 – 1/6. Return to school Monday, January 7
Naper Settlement Field Trip - 1/8. Please have your child dress for the weather; much of this field trip will be outside!
Have a great week and a wonderful holiday! Mrs. Klacza
