Macek's Memo

Weekly Report
Well, we made it through ISTEP! I tested both classes due to Mrs. Czernobil's absence. Mrs. Griffin helped me so much. There may not be much in Friday Folders due to a heavily testing week. The week of March 13 is IREAD. It is only a 3 day testing window. We will test on Monday, March 13. That way we will have time for makeups if needed. We will take a practice the week before. Thank you for getting the kids here and making special breakfasts and having earlier bedtimes. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Reading---The Journey: Stories of Migration Target Skill: Compare and Contrast--There will be a story and vocabulary quiz on Friday.
Math-Topic 10 will continue and timed tests will resume.
Spelling--changing final y to i----Test on Friday
Science--We will begin Life Science.
English--Unit 5 will continue on capitalization and punctuation.
Reminders/Odds & Ends
*Sack lunch for Wednesday.
*Dress for the weather on Wednesday. We are not going to the water park. (LOL) We will observe and learn about the process of maple syrup being made. Your kids will be experts by the end of the trip. We will be walking and spending some time outdoors. Gloves, hats, (boots if it is muddy) and warm coats are good to have. Or shorts...watch the weather! There is a gift shop. Kids will need to hold onto their own money if they choose to bring some.
*Read-a-thon money is due ASAP if you haven't turned it in yet.
*Only read Chapter 3 of The Chocolate Touch over the weekend. Thanks for making this fun for the kids.
