For Your Information:
Service Project Thank You
Thank you for your generous support of the Holiday Service Project!! I was overwhelmed by the number of gifts bought for our two families of cancer patients and the donations for Lutherbook! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your demonstration of caring for others - as we always say, "Character Counts at Prairieview School."
New Plan for Winter Holiday Party
We have a change of plans for our last day before Winter Break. All Prairieview students will be going to the Tivoli for a special showing of "The Polar Express". Please refer to the permission slip that was sent home for more details about the day. I think this will prove to be an exciting and welcome change for everyone!
Subject Update:
- Spelling - Lesson 14: Words spelled with -au
- English/Writing - We will continue to work on expository writing. The students are finishing a writing sample about their favorite holiday.
- Reading - We are still reading realistic fiction stories. The students will be reading a touching story, "Making Room for Uncle Joe."
- Science - The students will be learning about inclined planes, one of the six simple machines. An inclined plane, or ramp, is a board that is raised at one end.
- Social Studies - We will finish the chapter by reading how the cities and industries of the Northeast have grown and changed over time. The Chapter 5 Test is scheduled for Wednesday, December 12!
- Accelerated Math - The students will complete an open book/notes checkpoint on Monday, December 10. Then we will review the steps of long division, practice dividing by 1-digit numbers, interpret remainders when solving word problems, and learn about short division.
