I enjoyed seeing everyone at Open House!  Thank you for coming!

Earth Day is on Sunday, April 22nd!  We will be celebrating Earth Day at Prairieview on Friday, April 20th.  Students can wear an Earth Day shirt or the color green!

The Fourteenth Week of 2012 at School:
Science: We will finish the study of chapter 10.  Students will be tested on chapter 10 on Thursday, April 19th. 

Social Studies:  We have completed our study of Chicago.  We will now begin studying chapter 3 titled People Move From Place to Place. 

Spelling: There will be a list 22 spelling test in cursive.  Homework should be done in cursive as well. The test will be on Friday, April 20th.   

Reading: Students will be quizzed on four new vocabulary words which they choose from their good-fit-books.  The vocabulary quiz has been moved to Wednesday, April 18th.  The quiz will be given in a verbal fashion which will truly test each student's understanding of the word they've chosen. For this test students will be asked to give the definition, an antonym/non-example, a synonym, and use the word in a sentence. This week we will also begin the study of poetry.

English: We will continue the study of unit 5 on capitalization and punctuation.  We will also begin a friendly letter writing unit.  Students will learn about the parts of a letter.  Then we will focus on editing friendly letters.  On Monday, April 23rd students will have a friendly letter quiz.  For the quiz students will need to edit a friendly letter.
