Week of 3/13/17 - 3/17/17

Don’t forget to set your clocks an hour ahead on Saturday night!  Spring is almost here… Why doesn’t it feel that way?   Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!
Coming up Next Week:
Spelling:  New word sorts are going home on Monday.  Students will also get their new homework menu.  They should choose one activity from each column and one more from any column they choose.  It will be due on or before 3/24.

Reading & Language Arts:  We’ll be starting our final unit of study focusing on “Standing up for what you believe in.”  The wonderful novel The One and Only Ivan will be used as our anchor text.  

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 the Industrial Boom and the Great Chicago Fire.  We’ll start our Chicago Fire flap books this week.  

Science:   We’ve wrapped our our Space unit, however, this week we’ll be creating our very own “postcards from Space.”

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class: Our Unit 6 geometry unit is in full swing.    This week we’ll focus on creating polygons on geoboards and with toothpicks.  There will be a checkpoint quiz on 3/17 on polygons and quadrilaterals.  The 11’s will also be tested on that same day.
