Week of 11/17/08 - 11/21/08



Winter-like weather is certainly here. Please make sure your children are coming to school in warm clothing because if it isn't raining, they will go outside for recess. A message from the office follows:

Announcing Prairieview 2008-2009 Yearbook. Order your yearbook today!!! The cost of the yearbook is $10.00 and make payments to Lifetouch. Order deadline date is December 1, 2008. No orders will be accepted after that date. Parents just a reminder-- Prairieview yearbooks are not paid for at registration. Please place your order now. Yearbook order forms went home with your child on November 13th and there a few extra envelopes available; please try not to lose them. If your child loses it, you can send an envelope with the following information on it: student’s name, teacher’s name and grade level along with a check made payable to Lifetouch for $10.00. It is very important that you put the information on the envelope; Lifetouch does not know who your child’s teacher is. There will be a limited supply in June. Order Today!!!

Coming up this week:

Mrs. Klacza's Reading Class: (I'm glad to see so many conference confirmation sheets coming back. If you haven't already sent one back with your child, please do so as soon as possible. I am looking forward to seeing you all in December!)

Spelling: Thanksgiving words! The pretest will be given to see if anyone can “test out” of Friday's usual test. However, there will be no contract work this week.

Language Arts: We will revisit our old friend, the extended response. I am looking forward to teaching some strategies I learned at our writing workshop which was held here at PV on Election Day.


Reading: We will continue to infer using worksheets and a short story called Chief Joseph. It goes along very well with A Boy Called Slow.




Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:
We will finish Chapter 4 this week and specifically study functions, inequalities, and predicting/testing. Review will be Thursday with the Chapter 4 test on Friday.

Mrs. Klacza's Homeroom:

Social Studies: We will play Jeopardy on Monday and take the Chapter 6 test on Tuesday. Our next chapter is called “The Fight for a Continent.” We will begin that chapter on Thursday.


Science: We will specifically learn about food webs and begin to focus on the wetlands.


Important Notes:
11/19 Assembly here at school: Kids on the Block
11/26-11/28 – Thanksgiving holiday

Have a great weekend! Mrs. Klacza!
