Happy Spring Break!
We will be on break from Monday, March 30th to Friday, April 4th.
Have a great time relaxing and enjoying Spring!
*Food Drive: Prairieview will be having a food drive April 6th -27th. All food will be donated to the Woodridge Food Pantry. In today's economic situation, food pantries are short on donations and food to give to the growing number in need. Please send in any non-perishable foods in with your child. 3rd grade is trying to get the most donations, so please join us in our efforts. Thank you!
*Family Book Club Night: Are you looking for a good book to read? Is your child looking for a way to stay busy over Spring Break? Join us for Family Book Club Night on Wednesday, April 29th @ 6:30 p.m. Simply go to the Center Cass 66 District website, click on "Prairieview", and read more about this great school event! You can then print a registration form and send it in. Please note that registration has been extended.
If you have any questions, contact Lynda Slinger lslinger@ccsd66.org or Jennifer Cerney jcerney@ccsd66.org. Hope to see you there!
*Scholastic Book Club: Orders were sent home this week. Please review and submit your orders in class or online by Fri. April 24th.
*Recycling Club: We collected a lot of plastic and cans this week as part of our "GO GREEN" project. Principal Schultz was very impressed and suggested we take a photo and write an article to submit to the local newspaper. We will be working on this "assignment" and let you know what happens! Hopefully you will be seeing us in the news!

A LOOK AHEAD
Mrs. Olsen's Language Arts:
*Reading: The students Ramona skits turned out wonderfully! I taped the skits and will try to put the video onto a DVD. When I am successful, I will have several copies of the DVD to send home and share. Our next unit will be on biographies. Don't forget, your child's book project (make a board game) is due on Wed. 4/8.
*English: We will be working on adjectives and narrative writing.
*Spelling: We will not have spelling the week we return from break due to the shortened week. We will focus on work work in centers instead.
Mrs. Olsen's Science and Social Studies:
*Science: We finished our unit on Space just in time for break. We will take a short break from science while we focus on Egypt. Next unit: Living Things.
*Social Studies: We will continue to work on Ancient Egypt. We will focus on the life and discovery of King Tut.
Mrs. Olsen's Math Class:
*Math: We began ch. 15 which focuses on congruent, similar, and symmetrical shapes, as well as slides, flips, and turns. This is a quick chapter and review for the students, so we will go through it quickly. We will take a test on the material on Thurs. 4/9. We will also work on 5's division after break. Please study division facts 5-9 over break.
