Week of 2/20/12 - 2/24/12

Happy President's Day, everyone. Enjoy the long weekend! Thank you to all the moms who contributed to our Valentine's Day party. We had a wonderful time and your help was greatly appreciated. Also, thank you to Jack P's dad and David's mom for coming along to Argonne for our scientific field trip. A good time was had by all!!




Coming up this week:




Spelling: Lesson 22 – Pretest Tuesday, practice sheet due Wednesday. Homework due Thursday and test on Friday.




English: We will continue our unit on Adjectives this week.






Reading: The students will be enjoying several different novels this week as we review all the important reading skills we've covered so far this trimester. We will start literature circles with various historical fiction novels all taking place during the American Revolution. Students will find themselves holding down different jobs each day, from “passage picker” to “literary luminary!”





Social Studies: This week we will finish chapter 9. The Revolutionary War has ended, but what's next for the new United States? We'll find out when we get to chapter 10! Our test for ch. 9 will be Monday, 2/27.




Science: We'll continue studying the atmosphere and water cycle segments of our weather chapter this week.




Mrs. Klacza's Math Class: We will focus on chapter 11 which covers least common multiples, greatest common factors, and divisibility rules. After we finish lessons 1-4, there will be a quiz on Monday, 2/27.
