For the Week of May 9th

Chess Club

The Rooks meet this week. This will be the last meeting of the Rooks. I have enjoyed working with your children and seeing the growth in their chess playing abilities.

Benchmarking

On Monday, Prairieview will be doing aimsweb spring benchmarking of every student in the school. It is exciting to easily see the progress the students have made since the fall benchmark took place.

3rd Grade Reading with Mrs. Csorba

We will finish up fairy tales with some reader's theater. Students will be performing their fractured fairy tale on Tuesday. Wednesday, we will begin a unit on magic! We will continue reviewing all our skills and strategies we learned throughout this year!

4th Grade Reading with Mrs. Beseth

Our focus in reading next week is on the reading strategy of monitor/clarify. Students should monitor how well they understand a story. If they don't understand something, they can reread or read ahead for help.

5th Grade Reading with Mrs. Bucklin

We will continue to read The Wish Giver. We will be doing work with the dictionary and recognizing and understanding colloguialisms.
