Mrs. Caliendo's Chronicles
February 21, 2020

SEL Our SEL focus this week we reviewed the skills for learning:
  • Focus Attention
  • Self Talk
  • Be Assertive
  • Listen
Social Science We will continue our inheritance and traits unit. Students are learning that organisms can have traits that are similar to their parent's traits, can be like one parent, both parents, or a mix of both of their parents' traits. 


Junior Achievement: Mr. Blocker taught students about being Entrepreneurs and they created restaurants. In our next Jr. Achievement session, students will learn about city and government taxes. 

English Language Arts   As we continue with our traditions and culture unit, students be
introduced to the research paper they will be writing.  It would be great if you could have a conversation with your child over the weekend about countries your family/ancestors immigrated to America from.

Don't forget to read for 20 min/20 days and record it in the February log. They are due on or before March 2.

Spelling  New spelling words went home on Tuesday. Students had time to complete all 3 spelling activities in class this week. Please check in with your child. They are all due on Thursday, Feb. 27, the day of the test.

Mrs. Caliendo's Math Class   We have been writing multiplication and division story problems in class. Please work with your child at home. There will be a quiz on Monday where the will be given one multiplication equation and one division equation. Students will have to write a story problem for each on the quiz. A review homework sheet went home today.

Practice the x9 facts.  A fact quiz will be given on Wednesday, February 26. It is NOT timed! Students are responsible for mastering the multiplication facts up to 12. The quiz will have about 26 math facts.  Flash cards are a great resource! 

If your child should forget their Student Book or their Home Connections workbook at school, they can go into my google math classroom - Calski Math Class from a home computer and print the page they will need to complete for homework.
