Week of 3/20/17 - 3/24/17

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  "May the road rise up to meet you and the wind be always at your back…" Enjoy your weekend!
We are coming up to the final week before Spring Break.  It’s also Spirit Week!! AND, we are visiting the Shedd Aquarium on Friday!!  Please make sure your child brings a totally disposable lunch/brunch on that day.  We’ll be eating super early, 10:00 a.m., (this is the only time we could get into the Shedd lunchroom) so students don’t need a morning snack since we won’t have time to eat it here at school.  We are so lucky to be able to see our beautiful city and take in the Shedd for free!   
Coming up Next Week:
Spelling:   Spelling HW (Menu 4) is due on Friday, 3/24.  However, the test will be on Thursday, 3/23, due to the field trip.


Reading & Language Arts:  We’ve started  The One and Only Ivan and the children are very excited about it!  This week, we’ll be focusing on continuing the reading and discussion using our Ivan packets.  


March reading logs will be due after Spring Break.


Social Studies:   We continue reading about the beautiful city of Chicago.  This week we’ll focus on rebuilding the city after the Great Chicago Fire. The Chicago Fire flip books are due on Monday!!   We’ll then be starting our brochure project.  


Science:   We’ll be taking a brief hiatus from Science.


Mrs. Klacza's Math Class: Our Unit 6 geometry unit is in full swing.    This week we’ll focus on quadrilaterals and other polygons.  A x12 test will occur on Thursday!!  


Important Dates:  
3/24 - Shedd Aquarium field trip
End of day 3/24 - Spring Break begins
4/14 & 4/17 - non-attendance days (Easter)
4/27 - Open House


Have a great weekend!
