The Prairieview PBIS team is extending a wonderful opportunity to begin the new year with a community service project. We will be holding a Food Pantry Drive at school for the West Suburban Community Pantry in Woodridge from March 11-15. Boxes will be provided in each classroom to collect the non-perishable food items. Girl Scout Troop 50251, comprised of third and fourth grade students from Prairieview, has graciously volunteered to pack up and deliver the donated food on March 16th. Thank you in advance for your generosity of spirit and deed!
The Tenth Week of 2013 at School:
Science: We will study chapter 10, lesson 2 on the the moon phases. Students will also learn about solar and lunar eclipses.
Social Studies: We will continue to study Chicago. Students will learn about the many different cultures in Chicago. There will be an open note/open book review on information in the Chicago packet pages 1-7 on Friday, February 15th. Chicago Books have to stay at school, but it would be helpful to read over the Chicago packets with your child.
Spelling: This week students will be tested on list 20. The only homework students will be required to do is the cursive worksheet due to ISAT testing.
Reading: We will begin a biography unit. Students will pick a biography book to read. While reading their biography book, they will be picking out juicy details about their person. Students will present the details they find to the class and complete a timeline.
English: This week students will write about the Chicago fire from the O'Leary cow's point of view.
Math: We will work on problem solving this week and review concepts from previous lessons. Students will have a chapter 7 test on Monday, March 18th. We also will study fractions in chapter 17. Chapter 17 will be enriched and include reducing fractions. There will be a division by 7 test on Friday, March 15th.
