Week of 9/8/08 - 9/12/08

As another week comes to an end, I'd like to take this opportunity to invite you all to Curriculum Night which will take place Thursday, September 11, at 7:00. You will have a chance to visit all of your child's teachers at that time. I look forward to seeing you there!

Mrs. Klacza's Reading Class:

Spelling: Lesson 2 - “the suffix -able” Contract work will be due on 9/12 and the final test will be on Friday, 9/12.

Language Arts: We will continue Chapter 1, “The Sentence.” The four types of sentences will be investigated early this week as we create our Snapshot Sentences. Please remind your child that they need to bring a picture to class on Monday. We will also study subjects, predicates, and conjunctions. Has your child told you about Mr. Morton??

Reading: Students continue practicing the reading skill of Predicting. We have been reading The Fear Place in our textbooks. We will finish the story this week and work with antonyms and synonyms, also.

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:

The first quiz has been taken and we continue Chapter 1 with gusto! This week, we will get through Lessons 4 and 5 and then have a short quiz on Lessons 3-5 on Wednesday. I am tentatively planning an end of chapter test on Wednesday, 9/17. Please remind your child to practice their math facts!

Mrs. Klacza's Homeroom:

Social Studies: This week we will focus on Lesson 2 of Chapter 4 which focuses on the Aztecs. The students will be making Aztec masks this week.

Science: We've learned about the tools scientists use and this week we'll focus on Inquiry Skills.
