What a crazy week it was with Veteran's Day off; I felt like we had two short weeks! Please get your conference confirmations in as soon as possible. I will be meeting with my homeroom parents in just a couple of weeks; I look forward to it!
Here is some important information regarding yearbooks:
YEARBOOK: Now’s the time to place your orders. Yearbooks are $10.00 and the deadline for your orders is Tuesday, December 1, 2009. No orders will be accepted after that date. Please make checks payable to Lifetouch. Please make sure your student’s name, teacher’s name and grade level are marked on the order form. If you have multiple students, please fill out one for each child. Yearbook order forms went home with your child on November 12th. If your child loses it, you can send an envelope with the following information on it: student’s name, teacher’s name and grade level along with a check made payable to Lifetouch for $10.00. It is very important that you put the information on the envelope; Lifetouch does not know who your child’s teacher is.
Just another reminder that our picture retake day is Thursday, November 19th. Mark your calendars if you are unhappy with your child's picture or if your child was not here the day they were taken.
Coming up this week:
Spelling: Thanksgiving words – no pretest. Test Friday.
Reading: We continue inferencing this week and will read the story Chief Joseph to help us perfect this skill. Our reading incentive program, Dig into a Good Book, ends this week for the first trimester! Many students still owe me book reports, so I suggest they spend this weekend reading!! There will be new activities introduced for Trimester 2.
Language Arts: This is the week we finish up our nouns chapter with lots of reviewing. Look for a “How to Study” sheet which will be coming home mid-week. Our test for Chapter 2 will be on Friday.
Social Studies: Our circle books are due Monday and then we will begin Lesson 4 entitled “Slavery in the Colonies.” I plan to get the Chapter 6 test in before the Thanksgiving break on 11/24.
Science: Rather than plunge in to Chapter 6, I'd like to try an activity this week growing lima bean seeds without any soil. Our observation skills will be used as we watch the growth process.
Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:
We have finished our very short chapter on decimal place value and after reviewing both Monday and Tuesday, I have planned a test for Wednesday. We will then begin Chapter 6, adding and subtracting decimals.
Important Notes:
11/19 – Picture retakes
11/25 – 11/27 Thanksgiving holiday
12/1 -- Report Cards
11/30 to 12/2 – Conferences
12/4 -- P/T Conferences -- No School
Have a great weekend! Mrs. Klacza
