Week of 11/4/13 - 11/8/13

I’d like to thank all the parents who participated in our Halloween party.  Your generosity is outstanding!  I’m so sorry I couldn’t be there, but I know the children had an outstanding time!  

I look forward to meeting you all next week at conferences.  They will take place in room 105!   

Coming up this week:

Spelling: We will be taking a Lesson 10 pretest on Monday.  Cursive homework for everyone is due Tuesday and the ABC order OR 2 challenge activities are due Thursday.  The test will be Thursday since Friday is a day off.

English: We’ll take a bit of a grammar break, but we’ll continue our daily D.O.L.  Our quiz that wraps it all up will be on Tuesday, 11/12.

Reading: The skills we will focus on this week are Cause and Effect and Point of View.  We also continue our Daily 5!!   Students will read and study about Veteran’s Day this week, as well.

Social Studies:  We will continue to study the history of Downers Grove.  

Science:   We'll continue chapter 9 on the Water Cycle, specifically focusing on Lesson 3, Weather. There will be an open book graded review on Thursday.  I’m looking at November 14 as our test date for Chapter 9.

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:  We are starting our next unit on Multiplication.  We’ll talk about repeated addition and arrays this week.
