Week of 5/24/10 - 5/28/10


We are truly down to the wire now, with one more full week of school before summer vacation. We had a great time visiting Lakeview and I think the students are feeling a little less anxious about the 6th grade. It was enjoyable listening to the choir and cadet band again on Thursday. What talented students we have here at PV! Please note that our fifth grade celebration will happen on Thursday afternoon. The PTO has planned a very special afternoon for our “Class of 2010.”

Coming up this week:

Spelling: Lesson 34 will be our last lesson but there will be no test due to the many special activities occurring this week. We will do the workbook pages.

English: We will learn about “busy prepositions” (School House Rock) and prepositional phrases, also.

Reading: We continue to practice and perfect the reading strategies and skills we have learned this entire year by revisiting some of the stories from our anthology. We will specifically focus on autobiographies and non-fiction. It looks like our reading party will occur on 6/1.


Social Studies: We'll finish reading Chapter 13 this week, focusing on the trails which led to the West, specifically the Oregon Trail and the Mormon Trail. Then we will find out how California became “The Golden State.”


Science: After our Monday Science test, we will watch a Bill Nye on planets. That pretty much wraps it up for the year!!

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:

Chapter 9 tests will be returned on Monday and then we will very quickly breeze through Chapter 10 on various types of graphs.

Important Dates:

5/27 - 5th grade celebration (afternoon)
5/28 - 5th graders go bowling – sack lunches, please!
5/31 – Memorial Day/No school
6/1 – All school picnic
6/2 – Report cards issued/Last Day!!! 9:30 dismissal

Have a wonderful weekend! Mrs. Klacza
