Week of 12/9/13 - 12/13/13

We made it through a week with Mini Man, our Elf on the Shelf.  Has your child told you about him? He has been naughty AND nice.   Can’t wait to see what shenanigans he’ll get into this week!
We have also won a good behavior “marble” party!   It will take place on Thursday; we’ll be watching The Santa Clause.   Please make sure your child has returned his/her permission slip.


Coming up next week:
Spelling: Lesson 14 -- Pretest on Monday, Test on Friday.  Cursive HW due Tuesday.  ABC order OR 2 challenge activities due on Thursday.   No Friday test for challenge students!


English: We will continue our unit on verbs with irregular verbs and contractions with the word “not.”  On Friday, 12/13, we will have our verbs test.


Reading:  Our reading activities this week will rely on Christmas and other holiday stories, such as Twas the Night Before Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas.


Social Studies:  We are once again taking a social studies break this week.  We will begin Chapter 3, “People Move From Place to Place” after the winter break.


Science:   We will reread Lesson 3 on physical vs. chemical change on Monday and take an open book and note graded review on Thursday. A test is scheduled for chapter 11 on Tuesday, 12/17.


Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:  The division unit test will be Tuesday, 12/10.  On Wednesday, there will be a good behavior celebration during class!   If anyone wants to send in a healthy treat to share with the class, that would be great!   There are 14 students.   On Thursday we will start on next unit on multiplication and division patterns.

12/12 - Good Behavior/Marble Party
12/17 - Early Dismissal (11:00)
