Week of 11/24 - 11/28

I can hardly believe I'm saying this, but I wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Where has the time gone?? First trimester officially ends today and when we return from the holiday it will be time for report cards and conferences. Please make sure your child shows you the three notes I sent home with them today. One is regarding the cancellation of Operation Crayon and the other two are regarding our classroom service project. Stay warm!

Coming up this week:

Mrs. Klacza's Reading Class:

Spelling: There will be no spelling lesson this week.


Language Arts: We have been busy with our extended response which goes with the story A Boy Called Slow.

Reading: Every single conference letter has come back; I look forward to meeting with each and every one of you. Also some great news: every student met his or her goal for reading books this trimester and we will have our healthy treats party on December 2. Any donations of goodies (healthy, of course) would be appreciated. On Monday and Tuesday, we will finish Chief Joseph and the answers we must infer. We will also be writing a Thanksgiving story.

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:

The students will be getting their math tests back and, rather than start a new chapter, we will be doing some “turkey math.”

Mrs. Klacza's Homeroom:

Social Studies: We have started Chapter 7, Lesson 1, "The Spanish Move North."

Science: We will continue our work with food chains specifically in the wetlands.

Important Notes:
11/21 – end of first trimester
11/26-11/28 – Thanksgiving holiday
12/2 – report cards issued
12/1-12/3 – parent/teacher conferences
12/5 – no school
12/10 – holiday service project items due date

Have a great weekend! Mrs. Klacza
