Miss Pellin's Post
November 26th - November 30th

Miss Pellin’s class has worked very hard for the entire first trimester. This effort has resulted in many excellent grades! I am so proud of this class’s achievements! There is no time to rest, however. We start the second trimester on Monday! Study will move from largely review of second grade concepts to the study of new material.

I look forward to visiting with each of you at the Parents/Teacher Conferences on Monday, November 26th; Tuesday, November 27th; and Wednesday, November 28th. The schedule can be found below, if you have any questions please email me at the address below. There is no school on Friday, November 30th.

Let Buona do the cooking on Friday, November 30th and let District 66 reap the rewards! I will send home a flyer on Monday, November 26th explaining the details! Our next Prairieview “Spirit” Day will be on December 7th.

Orders for yearbooks are now being taken. Please make your $9.00 checks payable to Lifetouch. No orders will be accepted after Monday, December 3, 2007. The yearbook order forms were sent home with your child last week. If you have lost your order form just send an envelope with the student’s name, grade level, and my name on the outside (and the check on the inside). In any case, it is important to have my name on the outside of your envelope since Lifetouch cannot match you child with their teacher.

This Week at School:

English: We will finish our study of punctuation with a Chapter 5 quiz on Wednesday,November 28th. We will begin a unit on narrative writing. By looking at examples of narrative writing, we will discover that articles have a particular organization or order.

Spelling: This week we will be studying spelling “List 13”. The final test will be on Thursday, November 29th.

Reading: We will start a unit on Egypt. We will begin by reviewing vocabulary words. It is important to recognize the difference between fact and opinion when reading about history.

Math: Miss Pellin’s math class will begin Chapter 3 this week. This chapter begins with addition and subtraction of three and four digit numbers.
