Week of 3/2/09-3/6/09


Thank goodness February is over! It's a short month; why does it feel so long? Spring is on the horizon... After our Pulaski Day holiday, we will begin our ISAT testing on Tuesday. Please make sure your child gets the sleep he or she needs to be alert and ready to go! Also, I will be providing some healthy snacks, but please provide a healthy breakfast each morning. It's very important that the children are well-rested and not hungry during testing week. If anyone wants to send in pre-packaged, healthy snacks, please do so!! We will all appreciate it.

Coming up this week:

Mrs. Klacza's Reading Class:

Spelling: No spelling lesson due to ISAT's.

Reading: Our Voices of the Revolution unit is complete. We had some fun tying in social studies with reading.

Language Arts: After much practice with extended responses and expositories, I feel the students are ready for the writing portion of the ISAT's.

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:

Chapter 18: We will not start a lesson this week due to ISAT testing.

Mrs. Klacza's Homeroom:


Social Studies: This week we will begin Lesson 3 of Chapter 9 titled “The World Turned Upside Down.” We will take notes on the lesson with circle books. The students have made these in the past and they will be graded! I am tentatively planning the test for 3/10.



Science: Our plan this week includes a visit to the “white board” in the IMC for some virtual owl pellet dissection. We will then return to the classroom and actually do it!
