Week of 4/1/19 - 4/5/19

After school today we begin Spring Break!   Have a wonderful, relaxing
break and be safe!  The week we return to school starts our
IAR testing.  Chromebooks will need to be fully charged every night
and earphones should be brought to school daily!  A mouse is also an
excellent tool for IAR tests.  If your child does not have headphones
or a mouse, Spring Break week might be a good time to buy them!


We had a wonderful visit to the Chicago History Museum yesterday!  I
had never been there and truly enjoyed it. I hope your child did, too!


Coming Up Next Week:


Spelling: We will get a new word list and menu. The menu is #4 so it is
a bit different than the others. The menu homework will be due on or
before 4/12.


Reading & Language Arts:  I’m excited to share that we will be starting
our next unit which includes reading The One and Only Ivan.  This is my
very favorite book of the third grade curriculum and I think all the students
will love it!  Please feel free to read it, too, so you may talk to your child
about it. It’s a very quick read!


The March reading logs will be due on or before April 2 (Tuesday.)


Social Science: We will continue our Chicago unit this week.  Our focus will
be on the railways and the waterways. Our first quiz (on only this section
of our Eyewitness Chicago packet) will be on Thursday, 4/4.  A study guide
will go home on Tuesday, 4/2.


Mrs. Klacza's Math Class: We’ll continue Unit 6, Geometry, when we return.
We’ll also be taking the IAR Math tests (3 total.)


Important Dates:  
3/22 - End of day begins Spring Break!
4/1 - Welcome back!
Week of 4/1 and 4/8 - IAR Testing (Math & ELA)
4/18 - Early Dismissal


Have a great Spring Break!  May it be safe and fun!!
