Miss Pellin's Post September 12th - September 16th
This week in social studies class went on a savenger hunt around the school using their cardinal directions. Each student did a great job finding their treasure!
The Prairieview magazine drive will kicked off on Monday, September 12th! Check in your child's binder for more information on the magazine
drive on this day.
Prairieview Elementary School is working on a quilt in order to remember and honor September 11th victims. Take a look at the part of the quilt our class completed.
The Fourth Week of School:
Science: We will focus on Social Studies.
Social Studies: We will begin the study of the continents. Students will be assigned a continent and use laptops to find facts about their continent. There will be a continent quiz on Tuesday, September 20th. Look for a study guide to come home on Wednesday, September 14th.
Math: We will finish the study of chapter 3, which deals with different addition properties, adding large numbers, rounding, and estimating. On Tuesday, September 13th students will be tested on their basic math addition facts. Students will need to complete 40 addition problems (adding numbers ranging from 1 to 10) in 2 minutes. Many students have already passed this test during our practice tests in class and do not have to take it again. Students will have a chapter 3 test on Tuesday, September 20th. Look for a study guide to come home on Tuesday, September 13th.
Spelling: This week in spelling we will work on Lesson 3. This lesson will focus on words with more short vowels. We will pretest on Monday and pass out the homework which is due on Friday. On Friday we will have a test worth 20 points.
Reading: Next week we will continue to teach the students how to utilize the essential reading strategies. In our classes we will demonstrate how the application of these strategies will maximize student comprehension of a range of literary materials.
