Week of 11/9/15 - 11/13/15

Thank you, parents, for meeting with me this week.  I loved sitting down and having honest conversations about your children.  Please remember that if there is anything you have a question or concern about, I’m only an email away.


Remember, if you have a veteran in your family or friend circle, please refer him/her to Mr. Pagel. Enjoy your long weekend everyone!



Coming up this week:
Spelling:   The pink “Words Their Way” spelling menu/spelling work is due on Friday 11/20.   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.”  


Reading & Language Arts:  This week we will begin our biographies unit.  This goes along nicely with the book your child picked out for their contract work.  There will be a project and presentation coming up.  I’ll keep you posted!


Keep reading for 20 minutes a night!  November logs have gone home.


Social Studies: We continue our Downers Grove unit this week. There will be a short quiz when we are done reading, highlighting, and discussing.  We’ll be focusing on modern day Downers Grove very soon.  A test combining the history and modern day will follow once we have wrapped up both packets.  


Science:   We’re on hiatus!


Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:  We continue Unit 3 this week, focusing on 3 digit story problems, both addition and subtraction.   Our first checkpoint quiz for this new unit will be on Thursday, November 12.


Important Dates:
11/6 - Conferences (no school)
11/9 - Teacher Institute (no school)
11/24 - Downers Grove Field Trip (Klacza/Lopez)
11/25-27 - Days off for Thanksgiving


Have a great LONG weekend!
