Week of 5/27/13 - 5/31/13

We enjoyed meeting our penpals and “showing them around.” We'll be strolling over to Mrs. Cavoto's classroom on Wednesday to find out more about 4^th grade. Memory books will be made on Thursday, and our bowling field trip will be on Friday. Students should make sure and wear or bring socks on Friday since they will be putting on bowling shoes. Also, bring a lunch from home that day; there is so much snacking going on, most children don't even want to eat lunch when we return!

What a week, and a short one, too!! Happy Memorial Day, everyone!

Coming up this week:

Spelling: We are officially finished with 3^rd grade spelling.

English: We are continuing our quick writes this week. Most of the students love receiving a “prompt” and responding to it in their writing journals. The sharing is my favorite part!

Reading: We'll end poetry week and focus on some guided reading.

Social Studies: This week, we will continue chapter 9, “Communities at Work.” There will be a graded, open book lesson 2 review on Tuesday and another on lesson 3 on Friday.

Science: We will continue to read and discuss Energy this week (chapter 14.) I'm hoping to have the students make posters on Tuesday.

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class: This week will be a shortened math week due to all the fun things occurring in the 3^rd grade. We'll continue to focus on skills we covered this year. We'll also visit the lab for some math games and play Multiplication Bingo in class.  We've earned a good behavior "marble party" and will celebrate the last full day of school!
