Mrs. Napolitano's News
Week of February 11h
IOWA TESTING
This week we will be giving IOWA tests Mon- Thurs. Make-up tests for absentees will take place on Friday. It’s important that your child is well rested and has a healthy breakfast, so that he/she is prepared to do his/her best on the tests.
Valentine Party
Our Valentine’s Day celebration is scheduled for February 14th at 1:30. Students received a class list today for valentine distribution. If your child is bringing valentines to distribute, please have him/her bring one for each member of our class.
READING
This week we will be reviewing extended response questions. Your child should have picked
their new book for February. They should be reading a genre they have not chosen so far this year.
LANGUAGE ARTS
We finished our persuasive writing with the children choosing who they think is the best relative of the year. Ask your child who they choose to write on. This week we will begin our poetry anthology unit. Every day your child will be introduced to new types poems. Your child will be picking ten of their favorite poems to include in their very own poetry book.
SOCIAL STUDIES
Last week your child was introduced to their big American Revolutionary Project. Due to IOWA testing we will be taking a break from the book this week. This gives your child the perfect opportunity to work on their big project this week. They have eight choices to choose from and may need to do additional research on their activity to complete their project. This big project is due Wed., February 20th.
SCIENCE
This week we will learn about condensation and dew point. Next, we will learn that the water cycle is the continuous process by which water enters and leaves the atmosphere. Meteorologists classify clouds into three basic groups according to their shapes and the heights at which they form. See if your child can tell you these three basic types of clouds by the end of the week.
MATH (Mrs. Napolitano's Class Only)
We continue to work in our measurement unit. Ask your child about the gallon girl/guy they
made this week. This week we will convert customary units of weight and work with metric units of length.

2/14 Valentine's Day Party 1:30-2:20
2/15 Spirit Day- Wear red
2/18 President's Day - NO SCHOOL
