Can you help??? Our classroom supply of healthy treats has dwindled. We are in need of individually wrapped crackers, fruit snacks, pretzels, Goldfish, cereal bars like Nutri-Grain, Quaker chocolate chip granola bars, etc. If you can donate something, it would be greatly appreciated!
Also, needed for the classroom.......electric pencil sharpeners! I have 2 and they are both on their "last leg". Again, your help is much appreciated!!!
Thanks to all of you who have been donating things throughout the year!
GEOSPACE is Tuesday. This is a heads on in-school field trip provided by the DuPage Children's Museum. The chilren will be creating a Geometric environment. When they bring home the completed diorama, take some time to have them explain what they designed. Their creativity is amazing!
Thanks to Mrs. Stahulak, Mrs. Balinski, and Mrs. Potdukhe for helping with this project!
Thanks to Mrs. Cohen, Mrs. Nuccio, and Mrs. Froats for chaperoning the fieldtrip to Naper Settlement.
HERE’S WHAT WE ARE UP TO THIS WEEK:
Spelling = Lesson 19 and “word of the week”
English = Unit 3 Verbs continued. This is a long chapter! We will have completed Lesson 8 by the end of the week.
Reading = SCOOPer Reading deadline is February 29th!
The students are allowed to meet with one book and activity per meeting…..
Is your child pacing themselves?
Persuasive reading/writing...... We are reading Persuasive articles and comparing and contrasting reasons for and against different issues like having soda machines in schools, extending the school day, and wearing uniforms to school. The children will be choosing their own topic to write about and try to persuade a specific audience! Watch out, it might just be you!
Social Studies = Chapter 8 Lesson 2 "The Colonists Rebel" This includes the Boston Massacre, Committees of Correspondence, and Boston Tea Party. At the end of the week, we will be having a tea party! There is a lot of material in this chapter that the children will need to know for the test. I suggest getting a head start on studying by reviewing lessons 1 and 2 over the Martin Luther King holiday weekend. Rereading the chapter and reviewing notesheets is an excellent way to study!
Science = Flight & Rocketry…..pages 2-5 should be completed in their accordian books. This week we will continue to work on the project in class. The project will be due on Thursday.
T.G.F.D. = Too Good For Drugs……Week 5! Remember to complete the homework!
Math = GEOMETRY! We will be using tangrams this week and classifying triangels and quadrilaterals. CHECKPOINT QUIZ = Thursday!
Stay warm and healthy!
