Week of June 2 - June 5

Well, we all made it through the fifth grade! I cannot tell you how happy your children have made me and how sad I am to see them go. But, they are ready to move on, and move on they shall... Thank you all for your help throughout the year. I couldn't have asked for more caring parents in my first "official" year here at PV. I wish you all a wonderful summer and I encourage my students to email me from time to time with an update of summer and junior high!

YEARBOOKS: will be handed out to students on June 5th. Any students who did not purchase a yearbook may do so on a first-come-first-serve basis on June 5th; they will go on sale after morning announcements. The cost will be $10.00 and children wishing to purchase should have exact amount. Checks can be made out to Prairieview. There is a limited supply. Prairieview yearbook orders were not paid for at registration. A flyer was sent out in November and orders were due by Monday, December 3, 2007.

Coming up next week:

Spelling: We have officially finished Spelling.

Reading/Language Arts: This week we will give our demonstration speeches. These will run about 3-5 minutes. The students will demonstrate how to complete a task that they choose. For example, they may want to show the audience how to wrap a present or make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It should be fun and I think it will make them more comfortable for future Lakeview speeches!

Social Studies: This week we conclude the reading of Chapter 13, People Moving West, specifically Lesson 3, The Golden State. We will round out the week by reading ahead in our books a little bit and learning more about current history.

Science: We have completed our Weather unit!

Math: (Mrs. Klacza's math students, only) We have finished fractions and will have some “fun” math time in the lab.

Important Notes:
6/3 – Reading party at lunch/recess for those who met their Tri. 3 goals
6/4 – All school picnic
6/5 – Last Day of School!!!! 9:30 dismissal

Have a terrific week and a wonderful, peaceful summer! Mrs. Klacza
