Geospace Thank Yous
Thank you to Mrs. Rosignal and Mrs. Repole for helping during our Geospace program. The program brought to our school by the DuPage Children's Museum enriched our knowledge of geometric shapes and solids. Students received a coupon for one free adult admission to the museum in Naperville as a thank you for participating in the program.
Spring Open House and Book Fair
I look forward to seeing everyone at the Spring Open House and Book Fair on Thursday, April 14 from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. Student work and projects will be on display for your to view, and there will be a great selection of books at the Book Fair.
Looking Ahead... Robert Crown Center
A field trip to the Robert Crown Center has been scheduled for June 3rd. There will be an informational meeting for parents the evening of May 23rd. Parents who attend this meeting will get an overview of the program and have an opportunity to ask questions. Permission slips and more information will be sent home in a few weeks.
Subject Update:
- English - Students will put the finishing touches on their "Me Front Page" special edition newspaper and begin learning about verbs.
- Science - Students will review the causes of weather and learn about the water cycle.
- Social Studies - At the end of Lesson 1, we learned that Congress had asked for representatives from all the states to meet for the sole purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation. Lesson 2 will teach us how these delegates ended up replacing it with a new Constitution instead.
- Mrs. Strong's Spelling Class - We will begin Lesson 25 on Monday. The students will be assigned homework during the week to practice their words. A final test will be given on Friday.
- Mrs. Strong's Reading Class - The students have been assigned one of two historical fiction novels about the Holocaust: Jacob's Rescue or Goodnight, Maman. We are focusing on the skills of drawing conclusions, author's viewpoint, and cause and effect as we read these novels.
