Week of MArch 19-22

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  "May the road rise up to meet you and the wind

be always at your back…" Enjoy your weekend!  

We are coming up to the final week before Spring Break. We are visiting the
Chicago History Museum on Thursday!! We will learn all about our fair city,

especially the Great Chicago Fire and the Columbian Exposition. Please make

sure your child brings a totally disposable lunch on that day. We are so lucky

to be able to see our beautiful city and take in the History Museum for free!

Coming Up Next Week:

Spelling: We have been studying prefixes and suffixes instead of spelling. There will be a

quiz on prefixes and suffixes on Friday.  We’ll review on Wednesday.

Reading & Language Arts:  We will continue our focus on a reading skill that

is really important, Main Idea & Details.  Prefixes & suffixes will also be

explored in more depth.

Social Science: We will continue our Chicago unit this week.  Our focus will

be on early history and lakes & rivers.

Mrs. Mandru's Math Class:  Since two days are set aside for field trips, there

will only be 3 days of math this week.  We’ll simply pretest for Unit 6 on

Monday.  We’ll also take a common assessment so the students can “show what

they know!”   We’ll continue Unit 6, Geometry, after Spring Break.

3/22 - End of day begins Spring Break!
