Week of 5/12/14 - 5/16/14

Happy Mothers’ Day to all you wonderful moms out there who do such a fine job each and every day!!   At the end of today we will be officially finished with this year’s MAPs testing.  Please continue to check your child’s grades because we are not done with third grade!! Our Junior Achievement representative will be coming on Thursday afternoon. Also, don’t forget we have an early dismissal day on Friday!
Coming up the week:
Spelling:  This week our spelling list will consist of some fourth grade words.  There is no challenge work.  If a student gets 0, 1, or 2 wrong on Monday’s pretest, he/she will have the same homework as everyone else, but will be exempt from Friday’s test.  I’ll assign the homework as we go...

English:  We will be working on persuasive writing this week.

Reading:  We will be continuing our Egypt unit this week.  We are comparing the text in several Egypt books we have, specifically two books on ancient Egypt and one on Tut’s mummy, and will find out all about King Tut this week.  

Social Studies:  We will continue chapter 9 this week.  There will be a Lesson 3 open book/notes quiz on Thursday.   The chapter 9 final test will be on 5/20.

Science:  Our science test will occur on Tuesday.   We’ll play our “numbered heads together” review game on Monday. We’ll then start Chapter 3 on Animals.

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:  Chapter 13 on area and perimeter begins this week!  Our first quiz on lessons 1-4 will be on Friday.

Important Dates:
5/16 - Early Dismissal (11:00) 
5/26 - Memorial Day (day off)
6/11 - Field Days & Picnic

Have a great weekend and Go Blackhawks!   Mrs. Klacza
