I hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday. I look forward to meeting with my homeroom parents the week of November 30. If you have a problem keeping your conference, please let me know as soon as possible. I only have 15 minutes per conference and I want to be able to meet with everyone on a timely basis. Lastly, if you happen to be shopping during this busy holiday weekend, please consider buying a little something for our adopted family. Thank you!
Coming up this week:
Spelling: Lesson 12 – the suffix -ous. Test Thursday!
Reading: We will begin our next reading skill, self-questioning, this week. We have some weather related stories on the horizon, namely, Hurricanes, and Eye of the Storm.
Language Arts: We've been working on extended response writing and will work on our narrative skills by beginning our “About Me Front Page.” This is a project the fifth grade has always done in the spring, but this year, we are starting it early and doing it a little at a time.
Social Studies: Chapter 7 is our next chapter, “The Fight for a Continent.” We will mostly focus on Lesson 1 this week, “The Spanish Move North.” The colonists are now dealing with Spain along with Great Britain.
Science: This week we will study symbiosis and prediator/prey relationships. At the end of the week, The Great Fuzz Frenzy will be read and discussed and a project will be assigned to the students regarding adaptation.
Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:
We continue with our adding and subtracting of decimals this week. Thursday we will review with stations around the classroom. I am looking at a test date of 12/8. Keep in mind that this chapter consists of only 5 lessons.

12/1 -- Report Cards

Have a great holiday weekend! Mrs. Klacza
