Mrs. Napolitano's News
Week of February 25th

CAN YOU HELP OUT?
We are in need for some more anti-bacterial wipes for the classroom. If you could donate some to the class that would be greatly appreciated!

SAVE THE DATE
On Friday, March 7th we will have our Too Good For Drugs graduation at 1:00 in the PV gym. All parents and guests are invited to attend.

READING
This week we will be typing our “Me Front Page” project. Many children have brought in their 8 x 10 picture and have started that part for the project. If you child has not brought in their picture they need to do this ASAP. This week we also will be working in our ISAT book on plot, subplot, and setting. We also will be doing another extended response to a story.

LANGUAGE ARTS
This week students will continue to work on their poetry books. In our ISAT book we will be focusing on different genres. Ask your child what their favorite genre is. We also will be focusing on expository writing.

SOCIAL STUDIES
Students presented their Revolutionary Projects last week. I was very impressed on how unique each project was. Our Chapter 9 Test will be Wednesday, Feb. 27th.

SCIENCE
Students will understand that a front is an area where two different air masses make contact. We also will learn that highs and lows are caused by the unequal heating of the earth. Last, we will understand that the atmosphere is the layer of gases which surround the earth.

MATH (Mrs. Napolitano's Class Only)
This week we will find the perimeter of a polygon. Then, we will find the area of rectangles and squares. Next, we will determine the area of parallelograms and triangles. Finally, we will measure the volume of solid figures. There will be a checkpoint quiz on Tuesday, March 4th on pages 464-465. Chapter 11 test will be Thursday, March 6th.
