Week of 4/20/09 - 4/24/09

It was wonderful to see so many families at our TGFD graduation on Monday. The children worked very hard and learned many valuable strategies for resisting peer pressure. We are still collecting non-perishable food for our PV food drive. Please think about sending in a few items.

Wow, what a turnout for the Open House/Book Fair! I always enjoy seeing my students get excited about their classroom and their displayed work. Thank you all for stopping by~

Coming up this week:

Mrs. Klacza's Reading Class:

Spelling: Lesson 28: “Greek combining forms” - Test on Thursday.

Reading: We continue reading our novel Night of the Twisters. Book clubs have been introduced and we will continue meeting and discussing the book.

Language Arts: Chapter 6 on Pronouns has been started. This week we will cover I & Me, possessive pronouns, and contractions with pronouns. I'm considering 4/29 for a test on pronouns.

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:

We will put fractions to rest for awhile... hooray!! Chapter 22, measurement, will begin. We will discuss customary and metric units of measurement.

Mrs. Klacza's Homeroom:

Social Studies: The chapter entitled “The Young U.S.” has been started. Our nation is growing and we need a little “elbow room.” We will find out how Thomas Jefferson solved that problem starting in Lesson 2: “Jefferson Looks West.”

Science: We continue our study of weather and the water cycle.

Important Notes:
4/24 – Early Dismissal
4/24 - Fundraiser at Cornerstone
4/29 – Family Book Club night (please consider taking part in this awesome event)

Have a great weekend! Mrs. Klacza
