Week of 5/4/15 - 5/8/15

Thank you to all the families that came out for our spring Open House & Book Fair.  We had a wonderful turnout!!   I hope you enjoyed visiting room 105 as much as we enjoyed showing it off.  
The second round of PARCC testing will be next week, Monday through Wednesday.  There will only be 1 reading test and 2 math tests.  As with any standardized testing, please make sure your child is well rested and eats healthy!!   
Coming up this week:
Spelling: Since we are PARCC testing, we will be taking a break from spelling this week.


Language Arts: We will continue our unit “Tales as Old as Time.”  The focus of the next several weeks will be fables and myths.  


We will continue our WOW words this week.   The students will learn a new word every day, Monday-Thursday.   The quiz will be on Friday.


Social Studies:  Our third and final test on our Chicago unit will be Tuesday.  Study guides are allowed.  We’ll then start Chapter 9 from our text book which discusses earning, spending, and saving money!


Science:   We will take a step backwards and study the very first chapter in our textbooks, “Getting Ready for Science.”  I feel it’s important to study science inquiry skills and the scientific method before heading off to 4th grade.  We won’t start graded reviews this week.


Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:  We’ll wrap up our perimeter unit this week.  Our quiz will be on Wednesday.  Unit 14 is on area and will begin on Thursday.

Week of 5/4 - PARCC testing
5/15 - Early Dismissal
5/25 - Memorial Day (no school)
