First of all, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the moms!! Secondly, thank you for making Teacher Appreciation Week so special. I hate the thought of having to pack a lunch again!
We only have 3 more full weeks of school ahead and there are lots of exciting events coming up. Scroll down for some of those important dates. Also, please remember that Panda Express in Darien is proudly displaying our 5th grade students' work!
All this week Prairieview is collecting gym shoes in any shape and all other shoes that still have some life in them. We want to help cut down on the amount going into landfills. The shoes will be either donated to places that help people or will be sent to Nike's recycling center where they recycle gym shoes into a variety of objects including floor mats. Please tie the shoes together or put them in plastic grocery bags so that they do not become separated. Thank you for your support. At Prairieview School – Character Counts!
Coming up this week:
Spelling: Lesson 32 – more prefix forms: pretest on Monday; test on Friday
English: We'll tackle adverbs this week, focusing specifically on comparing with adverbs and determining the difference between adverbs and adjectives.
Reading: We continue to practice the reading strategies and skills we have learned this year while reading Jacob's Rescue. The students have really been developing their questioning skills by finding answers within the novel to “right there,” “think and search,” and “on your own” questions.
Social Studies: This week, the students will finish their “Fortunately, Unfortunately” booklets and then read Lesson 3 entitled “The Struggle for Reforms.” Friday we will have our Chapter 12 test, with a review game on Thursday.
Science: After an open note Lesson 2 assessment on Tuesday, we will begin Lesson 3, “What Makes up our Solar System?” Tentative test date is 5/24.
Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:
We are working on Chapter 24, picking and choosing what's important and doubling up on some lessons. This week we continue to study area and add parallelograms to the mix. We will also relate perimeter, area, and volume. The students will be taking the Chapter 24 test on Thursday. I will allow them to use formula notes.
Important Dates:
5/10 – 7:00 concert at LV with Cadet Band and Choir
5/11 – Bubble Wonder assembly
5/13 – 5th graders visit Lakeview to see Oklahoma (dress rehearsal)
5/14 – Early Dismissal
5/18 - 5th graders visit Lakeview

Have a wonderful weekend! Mrs. Klacza
