Miss Pellin's Post 
January 14th – January 18th
Happy New Year! I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday. We are looking forward to a very successful new year! This week we had fun studying the water cycle, and chemical and physical matter changes.
There is a new school policy for students who have forgotten their lunch tickets or money. Each student will be able to borrow a lunch ticket from the office up to twice a semester provided that there is not an outstanding balance due for lunch tickets. If your child needs lunch tickets, they may purchase a ticket for $2.25 from the office staff. Please note that exact change is necessary and that students will no longer be able to borrow lunch tickets from the lunchroom staff.
Remember to wear your Prairieview school clothes on Friday, January 18th.
The Second Week of 2008 at School:
English: We will continue to study verbs. This week we will study future verbs, helping verbs, irregular verbs, and the special verb “be.”
Spelling: We will be studying “List 16.” This list focuses on words that end in “ed.” We will have a pretest on Monday, January 14th. The final test will be on Friday, January 18th.
Reading: We will begin to study Lesson 4 from the Illinois Reading Assessment Framework Workbook. There will be a quiz on this lesson on Friday, January 18th. Students can study for this quiz by completing workbook pages 80-84 due Thursday, January 17th.
Math: We will continue multiplication. This week’s mad minutes will focus on 5’s. Please help
your child practice these multiplication facts throughout the week. There will be a quiz on Friday, January 18th. We will have a test on problems using time on Tuesday, January 15th. Please study pages 126-139. The student study guide is the first checkpoint on page 138. This is due on Monday, January 14th. The rest of the week will be spent using T charts for logical reasoning.
Social Studies: We will continue studying the traditions and cultures of people around the world (Chapter 3). This week we will include discussions of why people move, ancestors, and immigrants.
