Week of 2/11/13 - 2/15/13

This week we will celebrate Valentine's Day with a party on Thursday. When sending in valentines for your child to distribute, the easiest thing to do is just leave the envelope blank. The students will be able to “deliver” each valentine quickly and easily. I am sending home a class list today with names so you'll know how many total students, boys, and girls we have. Also, if your child's valentine includes some sort of candy, the children will not be able to eat it at school. Thank you!

There are some great PBIS “tips” on the blog written by our social worker, Mrs. Amedeo. Check it out! http://prairieviewpbis.blogspot.com/

Coming up next week:

Spelling: Rather than spelling this week, we will be changing gears and working on suffixes. The students will continue working in their packets which will include some class work and some pages that needs to be done as homework.

English: Our adjectives and adverbs test will be on Friday, 2/15.

Reading: This month is Black History Month! Our students have selected an African American to research. They are collecting information and creating a photo album based on that person's life. All projects will be due on 2/15.

Social Studies: We are taking a break from our formal social studies lessons, but we will continue to dabble in some activities that go along with our culture unit.

Science: The final test for chapter 14 will be Tuesday, February 12. We will review on Monday. I hope the students will be paying attention!!

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class: We will be finishing up chapter 14 this week, “Plane Figures.” The test is planned for Thursday, 2/14.

Important Dates:

2/14 – Valentine's Day parties

2/17 – President's Day – no school

Have a great weekend! Mrs. Klacza
