We are entering our final 5-day week of school. The following week includes Memorial Day, so it's shorter! It's hard to believe that this school year is almost over. It is, however, a full week with a few tests thrown in! We can't get lazy yet!!Please don't forget the Michael & Linda overview here at PV on Monday at 6:30. This is a “parents only” meeting and will help with any questions your child has after our Robert Crown visit. It will also help start meaningful conversations because you will know exactly what has been covered on the field trip.
Don’t forget to sign up for the 2 mile Walk Day on Tuesday, May 24th at Prairieview School. All proceeds from the event will go to the American Red Cross to help the victims of the earthquake in Japan. There will also be a raffle to help raise money for the cause, and any donations would be appreciated. (gift cards, sport items, games, services, small goodies). Anyone who would like to volunteer on May 24th, please e-mail Mrs. Cavoto ccavot@ccsd66.org or Mrs. Sulima Ssulima@ccsd66.org to let them know.
Coming up this week:
Mrs. Klacza's Reading Class: We continue to read The Wish Giver, which is in the fantasy genre. Our third story is called “Water Water Everywhere.” We will continue to focus on story structure, character traits, and figurative language. Sequence of events will also be covered this week.
Spelling: Lesson 30 – Pretest on Monday; Homework due on Thursday/Test on Friday.
English: We have been busily writing our first persuasive piece on whether or not uniforms should be required in public schools. Our second persuasive assignment is coming up this week!
Social Studies: We will review for our chapter 12 test on Monday, test on Tuesday. After a TFK on Wednesday, I've decided to skip ahead to chapter 18, which we will read and discuss (NO TEST!!) I chose this chapter because it talks about moments in history the children have been asking about, like World War I and II. Social studies has been one of my favorite subjects to teach this year, maybe my favorite :)
Science: We'll finish chapter 12 this week on the oceans. Lesson 3 will be read with note-taking on Tuesday, quick study on lesson 3 on Wednesday, and the test on Friday. This will be a busy week, indeed.
Mrs. Klacza's Math Class: This week will be all about probability as we jump into chapter 17. We will cover lessons 1, 2, 4, & 5. Expect a test on Friday!
