Today is the end of Trimester 1. What a wonderful first one-third of the year we’ve had!! Grades will be finalized soon.
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving break with your families. This blog will include information for the two days next week and also the following week. Happy Thanksgiving!!
Coming up in the next two weeks:
Spelling: The homework will not be due until Monday, 11/28 (The test will also be on that day.) I’ve been encouraging the kids to get it done by Tuesday so it won’t get lost in the holiday shuffle. We will do an inventory on Tuesday, 11/29 to see where everyone places for trimester 2. New words will come home on 12/5.
Reading & Language Arts: We are wrapping up our unit on Fairy Tales, Myths, and Legends. We’ll be starting the next unit, Culture and Traditions, the week of 11/28. First, we’ll explore and close read “Circle of Life” from the Lion King. Then, later in the week, I’ll introduce Literature Circles to the students.
Please keep reading and filling out the November reading log. It will be due on or before December 1.
Social Studies: We’ll continue reading about Modern Day Downers Grove. There will be a culminating test taking place after we read, but I’m not sure of the date yet. I’m tentatively planning on either 11/30 or 12/1. If we do 11/30, it’ll be before we head off for our field trip. I’ll keep you posted.
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. On Friday, 12/2, a pretest/study guide will come home. It will be due on 12/6. We’ll go over it carefully. The test for Unit 3 is planned for Wednesday, 12/7.
Important Dates:
11/23 - 11/25 - Thanksgiving break
11/30 - DG field trip for Klacza/Lopez
12/7 - Early Dismissal (11:35)
Have a great weekend!!
