Week of 1/5/15 - 1/9/15

I hope you all have a joyous and healthy holiday. Enjoy your families and keep them close; I know I will. See you all in 2015!!
We will come back in January to MAP testing.  Please make sure your child gets plenty of rest and eats a good healthy breakfast & snack.  Our days for testing are shown below.
Also, please make sure your child is coming to school with warm clothing for recess.  Gloves and a hat are a must!!   I've also noticed that supplies are starting to dwindle.  Please ask your child what he/she needs to replenish as we start a new year together.   Thank you!
Coming up this week:
Spelling: Lesson 14.  Cursive HW (for everyone) due Tuesday.  ABC order or 2 challenge activities are due Thursday.   Test for those not on the challenge list will be Friday.  Please make sure homework is done on notebook paper!


Language Arts: We will continue our new unit called Traditions.  We’ll focus on the story The Keeping Quilt by Patricia Polacco.  We will also be starting our new Words of the Week (WOW) ending with a quiz on Friday.   


Social Studies: We will start our new Social Studies unit on local government, chapter 12 in our text book.  An open book, open note review of lesson 1 will occur on Friday, 1/9.


Science:  Chapter 11 on Matter begins this week.   Lesson 1 review (open notes/book) will be on Thursday.


Mrs. Klacza's Math Class: This week we’ll begin Topic 6, More Multiplication facts. We’ll continue our multiplication facts timed tests.  They’re getting more difficult, so perhaps a little practice over break will help?   Wednesday I’ll test on the 9s and Friday on the 3s.   


Important Dates:
12/19 - Visit the Tivoli to see “Miracle on 34th Street”
1/7 - Klacza MAP testing - Reading
1/9 - Klacza MAP testing - Math


1/16 - Early Dismissal (11:00)

Have a great holiday break!   Mrs. Klacza
