Week of March 11


WEEK IN A NUTSHELL

The Prairieview PBIS team is extending a wonderful opportunity to begin a community service project.  We will be holding a Food Pantry Drive at school for the West Suburban Community Pantry in Woodridge from March 11-15.  Boxes will be provided in each classroom to collect the non-perishable food items.  Girl Scout Troop 50251, comprised of third and fourth grade students from Prairieview, has graciously volunteered to pack up and deliver the donated food on March 16th.  Thank you in advance for your generosity of spirit and deed!

Just a reminder, we will be ISAT TESTING on:
Tues. 3/12, Wed. 3/13, Thurs. 3/14 from 8:00 - 10:00.
Please make sure students are well rested and have eaten a healthy breakfast!

MATH
Today, we began our new unit on fractions.
This upcoming week, students will learn how to compare fractions.
There will be no division test this week due to ISAT testing.
However, students who need to retake any division test(s) must do so by Friday, March 15.
Students who fail to pass by 3/15 will receive a zero in our grade book.
