I see the snow melting outside my window on this warm Friday and I am happy. The children were finally able to go outside for recess. Hooray!
Wednesday we went to Naper Settlement for our field trip, “Tools for Schools.” It was cold but a lot of fun and very educational. Ask your child about the schoolhouse!! What a different time that was... Thank you to the wonderful moms who came along to chaperone. Also, Friday, 2/13, we will celebrate Valentine's Day with a party in our homeroom. Please remember to send enough valentines for all the students in the class (23.) Class lists went home today. Our party will begin at about 1:20.
Coming up this week:
Mrs. Klacza's Reading Class:
Spelling: Lesson 20: -ary words. Test on Friday.
Reading: We are now finished reading Toliver's Secret and will end the unit with a story map that the students will complete. We will begin our next reading skill, connecting, and read the story And then What Happened, Paul Revere? by Jean Fritz. I love the way our textbook stories are “connecting” with our social studies unit.
Language Arts: This week we will focus on expository writing. My sister is the manager of Citizen's Bank in Darien and they are having an essay contest so... I am not only going to take a grade on their final products, but also submit them to the contest! We will see how we do. Look for the letters regarding this contest next week.
Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:
We have finished Chapter 12 and will begin Chapter 18: Geometry and Algebra. A geometry book will be created to help with the terminology. We will also be intermittently preparing for ISAT's.
Mrs. Klacza's Homeroom:
Social Studies: Our Patriot/Loyalist books are now due on Friday, February 13. If they are done ahead of time, they may be handed in. Our Chapter 8 test is Tuesday.
Science: We will finish Lesson 2 on succession and have an open book quiz on Thursday.
Important Notes:
2/13 Valentine's Day parties
2/16 Presidents' Day – day off
3/2 Pulaski Day – day off
Have a great weekend! Mrs. Klacza
