Week of 10/16/17 - 10/20/17

We have earned our first marble party!!  I’m so proud of our children! It will be held on Thursday during recess (and a bit afterwards.)  Students are allowed to wear PJs and bring in a favorite stuffed toy.  I’ll bring in a treat to go along with their lunch.  The students will be voting to watch a movie of their choice (within reason!)   If anyone has an objection to a movie rated PG, please let me know!!   I typically stick to Disney or Minion-type films.


Coming Up Next Week:


Spelling:   A new set of words to sort and a new menu for homework will be coming home on Monday.  The completed homework (3 activities, one from each column) will be due on or before 10/26.


Reading & Language Arts:  This week, we’ll be working on character traits and theme.  These are very important reading skills.  We’ll also be starting our haunted house “persuasive” writing pieces.  


Please make sure your child is reading! October logs are due on or before November 1.


Social Science:  We will be continuing our unit on Downers Grove history this week!  There will be a short quiz on this information once we are done with our packets.  A study guide will be sent home soon.  Our field trip will be on November 2.  Hopefully, you’ve returned your permission slips and money.  That’s due next Friday.


Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:  We will be wrapping up Unit 2 by the end of this week.  It covers more multiplication strategies.  Look out for the “pretest” study guide which will go home on Thursday.  It will be due on Monday, 10/23 and the test will be on Tuesday, 10/24.


Important Dates:  
Week of 10/23 - Homeroom Conferences
10/27 - Day off (Conferences)
10/30 - Teachers’ Institute (Day off for students)
10/31 - Halloween party and parade

Have a great weekend!!
