Week of 11/23/09 - 11/27/09



Next week will be short and sweet with a wonderful holiday at the end! Just a reminder that yearbook orders are due on or before 12/1. Tivoli permission slips and money are due on or before 12/3. Lastly, please check your child's binder about our adopted family for Christmas. There are two informative letters that describe the situation and what types of gifts we are looking for. Keep in mind that the gifts can be brought in any time between now and 12/8.

Coming up this week:

Spelling: Short week – no spelling words!


Reading: We finish inferencing this week with an extended response on A Boy Called Slow. I will be introducing the new book report format for our Dig into a Good Book program.



Language Arts: We took our Nouns test today and will not start the next chapter for a week or two. Instead we will focus on writing.

Social Studies: Our test is Tuesday on Chapter 6. Please remember to sign the “How to Study” sheet after your child has studied for this test. This will be the last "How to Study" we do in the fifth grade. I typically only use these for 1st trimester.

Science: We continue to monitor our lima beans and observe their progress. We will begin Lesson 2 of Chapter 6 after the holiday.

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:
We will get through Lesson 2 this week which involves adding and subtracting decimals. Tuesday we will have some fun with Thanksgiving math worksheets.


Important Notes:
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
