The weather continues to be fair and sunny. It's such a pleasure to have the students go outside and play during recess. They truly need it. April is almost over and the month of May begins Thursday. Please remind your children, as I do at school, that school is still in session for a few more weeks!! We need to continue working to get them ready for Lakeview. I can't believe I'm saying that already... Oh, and we are still in need of wet wipes. Thanks!
Coming up next week:
Spelling: Lesson 29 – Test Friday
Reading: We will be reading the novel Night of the Twisters this week. We will learn about types of questions during this unit, such as “right there,” “think & search,” and “on your own.” We will also form book clubs and discuss the book with our smaller “club.” The fifth grade has been reading this novel for years. It is one of my favorites and I hope your child will enjoy it as much as I do.
Language Arts: We continue the study of Pronouns. We will review Wednesday and Thursday and follow that with a test on Unit 6 on Friday.
Social Studies: This week we will conclude Chapter 11 entitled The Young United States, specifically the War of 1812, and have our test on Thursday. We will then begin Chapter 12 entitled Times of Change.
Science: Our weather unit will be in full swing this week. You should see a blue book coming home as I expect the students to read ahead before an experiment!
Math: (Mrs. Klacza's math students, only) Chapter 9, the study of fractions, begins! We will specifically be studying factors and GCF, multiples and LCM this week.
Important Notes:
* 5/7 Spring Concert – Cadet Band
* 5/26 Memorial Day holiday
Have a terrific week! Mrs. Klacza
