Gonzales Weekly

04/02/12

Hello and welcome to a SHORT WEEK of 4^th quarter!  There is NO SCHOOL FRIDAY OR MONDAY.

This week starts our serious AIMS prep.  We will be doing a lot of review in reading, writing, and math.  We will spend a lot of time doing practice tests and reviewing our test taking strategies as well.

In math, we will study probability.  In reading, we will focus on finishing our centers, which involve a lot of vocabulary.  In writing, we will analyze the guidelines for the AIMS and then look at sample writings.  Later in the week and next week, we will do writing prompts and then peer grade them!

Please note that I am still in need of mechanical pencils, mechanical pencil lead (.7 mm), and black dry erase markers.

Spelling words for the week:

1. depth
2. plunge
3. wreck
4. film
5. switch
6. length
7. prompt
8. pledge
9. else
10. bulk
11. habitat
12. cobweb
13. tepid
14. magnetic
15. daft
16. xylitol
17. xerophyte
18. xylophone

Have a great four day week!
