Classroom Chatter
Thank you to Mrs. Casey, Mrs. Gibbons, Mrs. Daniele, Mrs. Riadi and Mrs. Grannan for planning and throwing our Valentine's Day Party. We had a "sweet" time!
Thank you to Sarah for donating items to the Treasure Chest last week!
If you're planning on going to the Roller Skating party, please turn in your money and permission slips as soon as possible. Only 150 students will be allowed to go.
Parents, please pay attention to your child's lunch and what you're packing. There is so much food that students are throwing away. Please encourage your child to bring food that is uneaten home and not to throw it away. Thank you.
Spelling
L. 23's words are ending with -er and -est. There is no pretest this week due to the shortened week. The test is Friday. The list will come home Monday and will be in the spelling folder.
English
We will have a test Thursday on the Friendly Letter. There isn't a study guide. Students should know the 5 parts of a friendly letter: heading, greeting, body, closing, and signature. They know a song to help them remember. Ask them to sing it for the family! It is to the tune of the Farmer and the Dell. :) They will also need to put parts of a friendly letter in order correctly and proofread a friendly letter for mistakes.
Reading
We will continue with ISAT prep by finishing up our Illinois workbooks. Lesson 5 is the last lesson. We will be working on main idea, inferencing, and extended responses this week.
Science
We will learn about the rest of the planets in the solar sytem.
Social Studies
We will finally begin Ch. 3 in social studies. Due to the IOWA testing and Valentine's Day party we were unable to fit it in last week. :)
Math
We will learn about area. space figures, and volume. We will continue to take mad mintues. This week we will begin division 2's. We will also continue to do ISAT prep.
