Week of 11/14/16 - 11/18/16

Today is Veterans’ Day and we had a wonderful assembly honoring our own veterans (those who have a connection to our Panthers.)  There weren’t a lot of adult dry eyes in the house!  If you are a veteran, thank you! Please ask your child about this wonderful assembly!

We have one more week to go in Trimester 1.  Please make sure you keep an eye on your child’s grades.  

Coming up next week:
Spelling:   New spelling lists will be coming home on Monday.  Completed menu/homework will be due on or before 11/28.  Please make sure your child does one activity from each column.  A test on your child’s list will be on 11/28, as well.   

Reading & Language Arts:  Today there is a fun activity coming home.  Students are asked to “disguise” a turkey using any materials they can find.  The turkey and the letter describing this activity is coming home today.  They are due on or before Wednesday.  We will then start a writing assignment to go along with the disguised turkey.  We’ll also be writing a turkey cinquain next week.  


Please keep reading and filling out the November reading log.  It will be due on or before December 1.

Social Studies:  We will finish our Downers Grove history unit this week.  A study guide will be going home Monday and a quiz on the history of DG will take place on Wednesday.  We’ll then start reading about modern day Downers Grove.   Our DG field trip will be on November 30.

Science:   We are on hiatus while we learn about Downers Grove.

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:  This week we’ll continue Unit 3 on multi-digit addition and subtraction.  We have been learning different methods to find an answer.  On Tuesday, students will be completing a short “work sample” and on Thursday, there will be a short checkpoint quiz.  

Important Dates:  
11/23 - 11/25 - Thanksgiving break
11/30 - DG field trip for Klacza/Lopez

Have a great weekend!!
