It’s been a great week in Room 105! I have noticed some of the children are not wearing warm coats to school. We do go out to recess and it gets cold out there! Please send hats and gloves along with winter coats please.
We have a really crazy, fun-filled week coming up. This will be the third graders’ first time at Brunswick Bowl. If your child would like to buy snacks, that is a-ok with me. However, please make sure your child only brings about $5 since they are truly there to bowl, not just eat! Also, chances are they won't be very hungry upon arrival back to school. Therefore, it's probably a good idea to send a light lunch from home that day.
On Friday, we’ll take another field trip to see E.T. at the Ogden 6 theaters. There will be no food provided at the movie. We’ll eat lunch in the classroom before we leave. It should be fun!
Coming up this week:
Spelling: We are taking a break from our conventional spelling lesson with some holiday spelling words! Words are coming home on Monday. We will pretest on Monday and if a student gets 0 or 1 wrong, they are exempt from the test (which will be on Thursday.) Homework is simple. Put the words in ABC order on a sheet of notebook paper. That will be due Tuesday.
Reading & Language Arts: We’re continuing our culture and traditions unit. We’re close reading The Night Before Christmas and doing a little Christmas around the world project. Students are making a poster on the country they’ve been assigned and presenting to the class in the coming week. Don’t worry, this is totally done at school.
Keep reading for 20 minutes a night!
Non fiction books are being read for our next independent reading contract. I’ve lightened the load for December. Please note that they are due on or before 1/4/16.
Social Studies: We’re piggybacking off of our Downers Grove unit with a chapter on communities in our social studies textbook. However, with all the festivities going on, we’ll read and take notes on Lesson 2 after the holiday break.
Science: We’re on hiatus!
Mrs. Klacza's Math Class: We’re continuing Unit 4, focusing this week on time and measurement. There will only be 3 days of math this week: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
