We’ve made it to Easter and Spring Break; may it be safe and wonderful for everyone!! See you all in April!
Mrs. Cushing, our PE teacher, is looking for some help with her indoor tennis unit come April. Parents can just come in for their child's 25 min. PE class or come for the grade level time. Students need help getting the fundamentals down. Students would benefit from having extra people to help toss balls to them so they can practice their skills. Please let her know if you are available at all to help out. Please email Mrs. Cushing at tcushing@ccsd66.org Thank you!
Coming up the week after Spring Break:
Spelling: Six spelling activities (2 from each column) need to be completed by Friday, 4/15. The test will be on 4/15 as well. On Monday, 4/4, students will be bringing home a new Words Their Way spelling sort and a new homework menu.
Reading & Language Arts: We’re continuing our third and final reading unit:”Stand Up for what You Believe In!” We’re enjoying The One and Only Ivan. The story is wonderful; ask your child to summarize it for you!
Book reports for non-fiction books are due on 4/4. (Most students have completed this activity.)
March reading logs are due on 4/4.
Social Studies: We will be continuing our Chicago unit. This week we’re focusing on the rebuilding of the city after the Great Chicago Fire and the first Chicago World’s Fair. A study guide will be going home on Monday for Test II. I am planning that test for 4/11. Study guides may be used!
Science: We will start reading about the solar system during our Reading/ELA stations.
Mrs. Klacza's Math Class: We’re finishing up Unit 6 on Geometry. This coming week we’ll be working on perimeter problems and fractions on a geoboard. The final test on Unit 6 will be on Friday, 4/8. A pretest will go home on Monday. Please make sure your child works on it; we’ll go over all the answers and review for the test on Thursday.
