Spring Open House - Thanks for Visiting!
Thank you to all of the families who were able to visit Prairieview for the Spring Open House and Book Fair. It was nice to see so many students proudly sharing the products of their most recent school assignments and projects. Also, thank you for the generous gift certificates many of you gave toward our classroom library. I will have many new titles hitting the bookshelves soon!
Subject Update:
Science and Social Studies
- Science - The students will learn about interactions between organisms in an ecosystem as we begin Chapter 6.
- Social Studies - We will hear about the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in the next lesson. Many students have recited the Preamble for me, earning themselves a Preamble pencil and knowledge that will help them on the Chapter 10 Test (which will be sometime during the week of April 27). For those students who have not memorized it yet, keep practicing!
Language Arts Block
- Spelling - Lesson 26 reviews lessons 19-25.
- English - The students will learn about verbs and verb phrases that are commonly misused. These include verbs that form contractions with have (Ex. could've, not could of), let and leave, learn and teach, sit and set, and can and may.
- Reading - We will be creating our last few "Postcards from the Far East" as we conclude our unit on China. Students will also read a text about Yo-Yo Ma, a musician whose family originated from China.
Math Classroom
