Week of 3/8/10 - 3/12/10


Conference confirmation forms have gone home and most have been returned. I look forward to meeting with many of you or speaking with you on the phone the week of March 8.

Look for the flyer that was sent home Friday. It announces a reading incentive program that Prairieview is encouraging called “Raise a Reader.” Parents sign up your child starting Monday the 8th by going to: http://www.parents.com/reading/prairieviewschooldowil
All students who sign up will get to put their first name and teacher's name up on the bulletin board in the front hallway. So join the fun and keep reading!

Coming up this week:

Spelling: Lesson 23, the prefix ad-; Pretest on Monday, Final test on Friday.


Reading: The study of China begins! This week we will be focusing on clarifying by identifying the main idea and details of nonfiction text. We will specifically be focusing on the climate, geography, animals, and plants of China.



Language Arts: We begin our chapter on Adjectives. We will also be working on our About Me front pages again!


Social Studies: The chapter 9 test will be on Tuesday. Circle books for Lesson 3 are due on Monday. We won't start chapter 10 until the week of March 15.


Science: This week we will start our study of oceans, specifically, what water is like in different parts of the ocean.



Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:

We will begin Chapter 19 this week, which also focuses on geometry. We will specifically study triangles, quadrilaterals, plane figures, and solid figures. Tentative “quest” will be on March 17.
