Macek's Memo

Weekly Report
Happy Friday! We had a pretty nice week. The kids are working hard! We will continue ISTEP/ILEARN practicing as well as continuing our regular curriculum. Elearners, I will include some packets we have been working on in your next pickup at the end of the month.
I am reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory right now to the class. Please ask your child about the book. This is a great way for them to summarize what has been read so far.
Reading--We will begin Module 7 which has a social studies theme about community leaders. Our first story is nonfiction and a biography called Farmer Will Allen and the Growing Table. We will focus on author's purpose, make and confirm predications, text structure, and point of view. We will have a quiz on Friday.
Math--We are finishing working with data. We will be in volume two of our math books next and skip around in there for a bit. Elearners, Volume 2 will be in your next pickup, on Friday, January 29.
Spelling--The words this week focus on compound words and abbreviations. Our test will be on Friday.
Social Studies--We will start a new Scholastic News. Science--We will continue on with Material Magic lessons in Mystery Science.
English--Our next focus is on helping verbs. We will have a short quiz on Friday.

Odds & Ends
*Some kids are low on supplies. Please have a conversation with your child about what they are missing. Headphones are needed for some upcoming tests. I am hearing glue sticks are running out. Pencils/new crayons are always needed.
