Prairieview Yearbook Orders
Your child brought home the order form for the Prairieview 2008-2009 Yearbook. Yearbook orders were not part of the registration materials at the beginning of the school year - if your child wants a yearbook in June, he/she must order one at this time. The cost per book is $10 (checks payable to Lifetouch). 5th graders - what a great way to remember all those friends you made at Prairieview!
Subject Update:
Science and Social Studies (Homeroom)
- Science - The Chapter 11 Test is scheduled for Tuesday, November 18th!
- Social Studies - Wow! What a great experience the trade fair was for the students! The "store front" signs were creative, the homemade goods showed off the many talents and skills of Room 207, and the bartering was quite strategic. As we continue in Chapter 6, we will read about everyday life in the colonies.
Language Arts Block
- Spelling - Lesson 13 focuses on the prefixes dis-, un-, in-, and mis-.
- English - We will learn about forming singular and possessive nouns. The Unit 2 Nouns Test is scheduled for Friday, November 21st!
- Reading - The students will make inferences about characters in stories. They will determine which traits best describe the characters by thinking about the details given (the actions done by the characters) in the text. Don't forget that your student should be reading at home to finish his/her biography and shape book project by December 1st!
- Math - We will move ahead to Chapter 5 and the exciting land of decimals! Talk to your child about money and how one whole dollar can be divided into tenths (dimes) and hundredths (pennies). Students will learn how to read and write decimals as well as how to compare and order them.
