Week of 9/29/14 - 10/3/14

Today we celebrate Johnny Appleseed’s birthday.  Thank you  to all the parents who sent in juice boxes, spoons, and bowls so we can enjoy a fun snack later today!   You’ll see the recipe for the applesauce in your child’s backpack.  
Coming up this week:
Spelling: Lesson 6 – Pretest Monday, Test Friday (unless your child passes the pretest.)  All homework (assigned on Tuesday) is due on Thursday. Students that are using the “challenge” list will choose 2 activities (please refer to “All About Spelling”) and students using the "regular" words will be putting the words in ABC order. ALL students will practice their cursive with a sheet that will come home after every pretest.  Cursive homework needs to be completed by the next day (Tuesday.)

Please make sure your child uses notebook paper for all written homework.  We have a lot here at school; students are welcome to take some home whenever they need it!


Language Arts:  This week, we’ll continue reading the novel The One and Only Ivan. Please check your child’s assignment notebook nightly regarding homework.  


We will continue unit 2 in English on Nouns.


We are continuing “Word of the Day” this week.  I will introduce the students to a different word each day, Monday through Thursday.  They will write down the word and definition in their spirals.  On Friday, there will be a short quiz on the four words.


Reading Logs are due on October 1!!  


Social Studies:   There will be a short quiz on continents and oceans on Monday.   


Science: We'll continue our first unit on ecosystems (Chapter 4.)   Our lesson 3, open book/notes, graded review will be on Wednesday.






Mrs. Klacza's Math Class: Your child will be receiving his/her test back today.  The grades are already in the grade book; you may check them if you wish.  This week we’ll start Topic 2, Addition Meaning and Properties.  


Important Dates:

10/8 - Picture Day

Have a great weekend!   Mrs. Klacza
