Week of March 17, 2008


ISAT week is over and we count the days until Spring Break! I feel like the students are already showing signs of spring fever... I keep reminding them that we have almost a full trimester left to go and I expect them all to work hard!

It was nice to see many of our parents at conferences. Please feel free to contact me by email or phone if you ever have any concerns or questions.

Coming up next week:

Spelling: Lesson 23 – Test Thursday

Reading: We continue our Me Front Page activity. They are coming along nicely; you will see them at Open House in April!

Language Arts: Back to the Book!! English book, that is. We will begin the study of adjectives.

Social Studies: We will continue reading Chapter 10 this week, specifically, Lesson 2. The students will be working on a “preamble” activity in groups of 2 or 3. They will be interpreting and illustrating each individual section of the Preamble to the Constitution.

Science: Well, unfortunately, we are saving our Owners' Manuals until after spring break. ISAT's got in the way a bit. We will read about the lungs from our You and Your Body books.


Math: (Mrs. Klacza's math students, only) We will begin Chapter 6, Dividing by 2 digit divisors. I am tentatively planning a checkpoint quiz for Thursday, 3/20. I'm hoping we can get it under our belts before the break.


Important Notes:
3/13 (Thursday) Pizza Lunch and The Bee Movie to celebrate the end of ISAT's
4/9 Family Book Club Night
3/21 Day off; Week of 3/24 – Spring Break

Have a terrific week! Mrs. Klacza
