Paper Recycling Fundraiser Comes to Prairieview: We are happy to announce we can now raise money for our district by recycling paper! You can help us out, too! Please collect any paper you are going to throw away or recycle (office and school paper, newspaper, magazines and catalogs, and construction paper---no cardboard!) and send it in with your child to school or drop it off at the green and yellow Paper Retriever bin in the Lakeview parking lot (near the fence by the Prairieview playground). The bin is available for drop offs 24/7. The more paper we recycle, the more money we can make! Do something good for our schools AND the environment! Thank you!

Thanksgivings Break/No School
Here is our short, upcoming week in a nutshell:MATH
Students are doing a fantastic job working with money! On Friday, we had a challenging lesson on counting change back in which students will be practicing next week. Over the weekend, they are expected to practice this skill with the 'counting mats' that were sent home OR they were also given directions on how to access games on the computer to practice this skill.
ENGLISH
Our creative writers will be given a chance to show their stuff when we write a thanksgiving story from the turkey's point of view!
READING
We will be doing some reading activities with a Thanksgiving theme. These activities review the different skills and strategies we've been working on this year.
Also, students have chosen five vocabulary words from the novels we just completed that they want to become experts on. They will be orally quizzed on these words on either Monday or Tuesday - their choice.
SCIENCE
The chapter 10 lesson 2 quiz was postponed. Students have the choice of either taking this open note quiz on either Monday or Tuesday.
SOCIAL STUDIES
Students should be prepared to take the Downers Grove quiz this week. They received a study guide with everything they are responsible for knowing.
Have a great week!!
