Week of 5/26/14 - 5/30/14

Happy Memorial Day everyone!   So far the weather looks awesome so go out and enjoy a wonderful 3-day weekend with family and friends!!    
Good News!!    Our class had the highest amount of box tops in 3rd grade (second highest amount at PV) and we won a pizza party!!    We will have it on Friday, 5/30, so no lunch is required that day.  Thank you Mr. Simpson for being in charge of box top collections - it is a great fundraiser for our school.  
Coming up the week:
Spelling:  This week our spelling list will consist of summer words.  There is no challenge work.  If a student gets 0 or 1 wrong on Tuesday’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…   This is our last week of Spelling!!!    


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


Reading:  We will have our Egypt test on Wednesday,  5/28.  I’ll then be choosing some novels to finish our year up.   Students will be grouped and each group will have a different novel to read and discuss.


Social Studies:  We are basically done with social studies; however, there may be small activities that pop up.  


Science:  We’ll start Chapter 5 on how living things depend on one another.  There will not be a final test on this chapter, rather, the students will create a poster as a culminating project.  Lesson 2 graded review (open book) will be on Tuesday and Lesson 3 will be on Thursday.  


Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:  Our chapter 13 test date will be Wednesday, 5/28.  We’ll then begin our FINAL unit on on graphing and data (chapter 12.)   


Important Dates:
5/26 - Memorial Day (day off)
5/28 - Box Tops Pizza Party 
6/11 - Field Days & Picnic
6/12 - Last Day of School!!


Have a great 3-day weekend!  Go Hawks!!   Mrs. Klacza
