Week of 12/7/09 - 12/11/09


I hope everyone had a safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday. It's time to start decorating for the next big holiday! It was a pleasure getting to know you all better at conferences and finding out how we can work together to make the school year a success for your child.

Also, please don't forget our adopted family. We will only be collecting gifts until Tuesday. Canned goods for the Lions Club will be collected through 12/11.

Coming up this week:

Spelling: Lesson 13 – negative prefixes -- Test Friday

Reading: We will continue our current reading skill, self-questioning, this week. We have read Eye of the Storm and will answer some comprehension questions. The students will also write 10 true and false questions using the text and have them answered by a classmate. Our reading party will occur on Monday. We will watch the movie Wall-E and have some healthy treats.


Language Arts: We will start our Verbs unit with a School House Rock video. Action verbs and direct objects will be studied this week.


Social Studies: After reading about the Spanish settlers in the southwest and Florida, this week we will focus on the French and their explorations down the Mississippi River. We will then study the French and Indian War. I'd like to wrap this chapter up with a test on 12/17.


Science: We read The Great Fuzz Frenzy and began the adaptations project. Ask your child about it! On Tuesday, we will read Wolf Island. An open book quiz on Lesson 1 will occur on Wednesday and we will then begin to read and discuss Lesson 2.

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:
We'll start the week off with a pretest followed by a test on Chapter 6 on Tuesday. The rest of the week will find our class in the computer lab and back in the classroom working on various math concepts.
