Macek's Memo
March 6, 2020
Weekly Report
Parent homework for IREAD came home in an envelope today. Please use the paper and write your child an encouraging note. Please return it by March 13, sealed shut. They will read it before they take the IREAD on March 16. Thank you!
Remember, our field trip is on Thursday March 19. The kids need to bring a lunch from home and we will eat in the room when we return. Dress warmly and wear old shoes or boots. The ground could be muddy. We will be outside for half and inside the other half. In the past, kids have shopped the gift shop. Kids do not have to buy anything. There are small bottles of real maple syrup that kids can buy for under $5. If you choose to send in money, your child is in charge of holding onto it.
Reading--Our story next week will be Rosie Revere, Engineer. We will also have a quiz over the short story before it called A Bumpy Ride. We will focus on making and confirming predictions, figurative language, literary elements, and text structure. Our quiz will be 10 points on Friday.
Math--We will finish Topic 13 and have a test the following week.
Spelling--The words this week focus on prefixes re- and un- and suffixes -less and -ness. Our text will be on Friday.
Social Studies--We will begin a new Scholastic News Issue. Science--We will work on Project Lead the Way until Spring Break. We will be building some simple machines and perform a rescue mission.
English--We will continue writing and not start Unit 4 until after Spring Break.
