Week of 2/10/14 - 2/14/14

This week we will celebrate Valentine's Day with a party on Friday. 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, make sure it’s wrapped. Please send in the valentines on or before Friday.  Thank you!
Coming up next week:
Spelling: Lesson 18.   Pretest on Monday, cursive due on Tuesday.   Challenge activities OR ABC order due on Thursday.   Test Friday for all those using the regular words.   No test for “challenge” words.  (This is the lesson we were supposed to do last week.)

English:  There will be a short quiz on Wednesday covering Lessons 5-7 on Adverbs.   The final chapter test will occur on 2/18.

Reading:  This week, we will read a story in our basals entitled The Talking Cloth.   It goes along nicely with our immigration unit in Social Studies.  We’ll continue our Word of the Day and also work on some Valentine’s Day activities.

Social Studies:  We are taking a Social Studies break this week.

Science:   We are starting up chapter 14 on Heat, Light, and Sound.  Our first open book graded review will occur on Wednesday.  Lesson 2’s graded review will be on 2/18.

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:  There will be no math on Monday due to a PBIS assembly.  A quiz on the first 3 lessons of chapter 8 will take place on Tuesday.    Please have your children practice their 7’s because they’ll be taking a quiz on those facts on Tuesday as well.  Thursday and Friday we’ll take our 8’s and 9’s tests. The children will be allowed to take each test 3 times.  PLEASE have your child practice their facts.   I do not time them so no added pressure!!

Important Dates:
2/14 - Valentine’s Day (Parties start at 1:30)
2/17 - President’s Day (no school)
2/28 - Teachers’ Institute (no school)


Have a great weekend!   Mrs. Klacza
