Week of 12/1/08 - 12/5/08

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, full of family, friends, and food! We have a very busy week coming up. Conferences will be held this week with reading teachers. I look forward to sitting down and chatting with you all. Also, I want to remind you all to send your children to school with gloves and hats because we do go out at recess.

Coming up this week:

Mrs. Klacza's Reading Class:

Spelling: Lesson 12, Test Friday.

Language Arts: The students did a wonderful job on their first extended response. This week we will start our next chapter in English, Verbs. Get ready, students, for another School House Rock video!

Reading: This will be our last week for the skill of inferring. We will read another short book about "Bronco Charlie" and his story as a pony express rider. Our healthy treats party will be Tuesday to honor the students who met their reading goals (and that would be all of them!)

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:

We will start and finish Chapter 5 on decimals. This chapter only has 4 lessons, so the test is planned for Tuesday, December 9. Decimals do not end there, however, they will continue on to the next chapter!

Mrs. Klacza's Homeroom:

Social Studies: We continue Chapter 7 with Lesson 2: "French Explore the Mississippi." I am tentatively planning the test for 12/16.

Science: We will study energy pyramids this week. I will be getting a test in on this chapter some time before the holiday break. I'm not quite sure when, though. As soon as I have worked that out, I will inform the students.

Important Notes:
12/2 – report cards issued
12/1-12/3 – parent/teacher conferences
12/5 – no school
12/10 – holiday service project items due date
12/15 - holiday concert at 1:15
12/19 - trip to the Tivoli to see the Grinch!

Have a great weekend! Mrs. Klacza
