What a beautiful Fall day we are having today! I’ve seen the weather forecast for Tuesday and it looks like it will be cool but clear for our Brookfield Zoo field trip. Please make sure your child is dressed accordingly and wearing comfy shoes. Also, he/she will need that fully disposable lunch.
Please choose a conference time for the week of 10/27. I sent a link and many of you have already signed up, so thank you! I will re-send it today to those who haven’t had a chance to sign up yet.
Coming up the week:
Spelling: Lesson 9 – Pretest Monday, Test Friday (unless your child passes the pretest.) All homework 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. This homework needs to be completed by the next day. 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 also be reading the short story Night of the Pufflings. This also ties in with our theme of “Standing Up for What you Believe In.”
We will finish unit 2 in English on Nouns. Our test for this chapter will be on Monday, 10/27.
We will also continue with our WOW words and our daily DOL. Short quizzes will occur in both on Friday, 10/24. There will be a study guide coming home early in the week for the DOL quiz. Students should be bringing home their spirals with the WOW words on Thursday.
Social Studies: We will continue reading about the history of Downers Grove. Ask your child who founded Downers Grove!!
Science: We need a break!! Let’s take one. Chapter 9 is coming up!
Mrs. Klacza's Math Class: This week we’ll continue Topic 3: Using place value to add and subtract. There will be a short quiz on Thursday and no Math on Tuesday or Friday due to Zoo field trips.
