The 100th day of school is coming!  This year it is Tuesday and we have
some really fun activities planned here in room 205.  
The year is flying by!  Here is an update of what’s going on next week:

Coming Up Next Week:

Spelling:  New spelling words will be coming home on Monday.  The homework menus

will be due on or before 2/15.  The test will also be on that day (it is a Thursday.)

Reading & Language Arts:  The country research papers are due on Tuesday.  Many

are already finished and shared with me.  I’ve asked that each student have an

adult or older sibling read theirs in order to check for accuracy and possible

mistakes.  On Monday, we’ll be starting Immigration Scrapbooks.  These will be

on display at Open House (in April.)

A new reading log has gone home for February.  Please make sure your child keeps it in a safe place.

Social Science: As a cross-curricular exercise, we will be creating our Immigration

Scrapbooks, which fits nicely with Chapter 3.  Those graded tests are in your

child’s binders.  

Mrs. Klacza's Math Class:  This week, we’ll be continuing writing our own word

problems and solving them, particularly, division problems.  There will be a division

checkpoint on Friday.  Also, the X4 quiz will be on Wednesday, make-up on

Friday.  A practice sheet will be coming home on Monday.
