Welcome to December!  The weather is starting to feel winter-like so please remember to have your child dress appropriately for the weather; we do go outside for recess.  

There are a couple of permission slips coming home today: bowling and Drury Lane. Please sign them and send them back to school as soon as you can.

Coming up next week:

Spelling:   New spelling words will come home on Monday.  I am expecting 4 activities to be completed from the homework menu.  It will be due on or before Friday, 12/16.   A test will take place on that day, also.

Reading & Language Arts:  We have begun our new unit, Culture and Traditions.  We’ll begin Literature Circles on Monday.  Twas the Night Before Christmas will be our close read.

The December reading log has gone home.  It will be due on January 3.  Keep reading!!

Social Studies:  We’ve begun to read about communities from our Social Studies textbook.  Lesson 1 has been read and students have taken notes.  They may use their notes and their book for a short lesson review (quiz) on Tuesday.  The lesson 2 review will be on Friday (also open notes, open book.)

Science:   We are on hiatus while we learn about communities.

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class: Today a pretest/study guide will come home.  It will be due on Tuesday, 12/6.  We’ll go over it carefully together on that day.  The test for Unit 3 is planned for Wednesday, 12/7.  We’ll then move on to Unit 4 which covers measurement and fractions.
