Week of 4/8/13 - 4/12/13

We'll be having our Auction pizza party today! Thank you to everyone who made it happen!! I'm sure you will be hearing the reviews when your children get home...

This will be a very short week. The students are off both Tuesday and Friday. Remember this is conference week for math teachers/parents.   Also, please get out and vote on Tuesday!

Coming up this week:

Spelling: There will be no spelling due to the shortened week.

English: We'll continue pronouns this week, specifically, object pronouns using I and me, and possessive pronouns.

Reading: We will be working with non-fiction texts this week.

Social Studies: We have finished all our Chicago quizzes. This week we will be finishing our Chicago brochures and our “cows.” The cows will be due on 4/10 and the brochures are due 4/11. Most of it will be done in school; some might have to be finished at home.  

Science: This week we will continue lesson 3 on our solar system by making a planet presentation for open house. I'm planning an open book graded review on this lesson for Monday, April 8. Test date is 4/15.

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class: Monday we will be creating our own “fraction pizzas” which you will be able to view at open house! We're starting our chapter on decimals this week (Ch. 19.) on Wednesday. We'll investigate tenths and hundredths. The tentative test date for this chapter will be 4/18.
