Week of 9/21/15 - 9/25/15

A note is coming home today regarding Johnny Appleseed’s birthday on September 25.  If you are willing to send in some apple juice boxes, bowls, or spoons for our applesauce, please email me.  We love celebrating in room 105!   




Coming up this week:
Spelling:   The pink “Words Their Way” spelling menu/spelling work is due on Friday, 9/25.  Student work should be written on a sheet of notebook paper and everything stapled to the pink “menu.”  The students will also be tested on 15 of the words in their “sorts.”  Please refer to the pink letter I sent home last week for more details.  


Reading & Language Arts:  We are continuing “Tales as Old as Time.”  This week, we’re comparing Mulan, The Mysterious Giant of Barletta, and Fin M’Coul.  Then, we’ll begin our close read of Rumpelstiltskin.


Social Studies:  The quiz on oceans and continents will be on Tuesday, 9/22.  Students should know the locations of the continents and oceans and be able to spell them correctly.  Don’t worry, there is a word bank on the quiz.


Science:   This week, we’ll start chapter 9 on the water cycle.  Students will read and take notes. Each lesson will be followed by an open book/open note graded review.  I’ll let you know in my weekly blog when those will take place.  I’m tentatively looking at Monday, 9/28, for the first one.  


Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:  We’ll continue with addition and subtraction this week.  Our specific focus will be double digit addition and subtraction with story problems.  Our first math assessment covering the first unit of study will take place on Wednesday, September 30.  


Important Dates:
9/22 & 9/24 - Magazine Drive turn-in days
9/24 - Early Dismissal (11:35)
9/25 - Johnny Appleseed’s birthday celebration (letter home coming soon!)


Have a great weekend!
