Week of 10/17/16 - 10/21/16

We have earned our first marble party!!  I’m so proud of our children!
It will be held on Wednesday during lunch (and a bit afterwards.)  Students are allowed to wear PJ pants and bring in a favorite stuffed toy.  I’ll bring in a treat to go along with their lunch.  The students voted to watch the movie “Minions”. If any parent has an objection to their child watching this movie, please let me know!  

Coming up next week:

 Spelling:   Spelling homework (3 items on the menu, 1 from each column) will be due on or before 10/28.  You’ll notice on Monday that we are using a new menu.   A test will also occur on that day.  


Reading & Language Arts:  We will finish writing our fractured fairy tales this week.  They are due on Wednesday.  They need to be 5 paragraphs long and be similar to Cinderella.   Please feel free to read your child’s on their Chromebook.  Furthermore, we will be continuing myths this week, specifically reading about King Midas.  


Please keep reading and filling out the October reading log.


Social Studies:  We’re taking a break from Social Studies as we explore Science.  


Science:   We will finish up Chapter 9, “The Water Cycle.”  The Lesson 3 Graded Review will occur on Monday.  Keep in mind that the students can use their book and their notes to take this quiz.  On Thursday, 10/20, there will be a science test on the entire unit.  A study guide will go home on Monday.  This is a typical test, no notes or book may be used while the students are taking it.  It does require studying!    


Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:  We continue Unit 2, Introduction to Multiplication  The various methods and strategies of solving multiplication problems will be explored this week
