Gonzales Weekly

05/14/12

This is the second to last newsletter of the year!  How exciting!

I just have a couple quick points to make for this very short newsletter!

In math, we are going to finish up a review of fractions.  We will take a test either on Wednesday or Friday to see how much they’ve learned.

We will finish reading Esperanza Rising this week.  We will write a short essay on Friday.

Please note that book reports are due Friday!  We will go over the guidelines on Wednesday.  There is no reading log due this week!

In lieu of a spelling list, we are going to do a geography test on the United States.  EVERY STUDENT IS EXPECTED TO DO THIS.  They need to get a 30/50 in order to get a passing grade.  This will be a grade for social studies, as well as spelling.  They need to give the correct location of the state, as well as the correct spelling in order to receive full credit for each answer.

A great website that we have used in class is ilike2learn.com/ilike2learn/unitedstates.html  If you google “interactive united states map quiz” you can find a wide variety of other practice tests as well.

Also, I will be collecting Saxon books this week.  Please make sure that your child returns this book to me ASAP!  If the book is been lost or damaged, there will be a $60 restocking fee.

If you have any questions about your child’s grades or ensuring that you get their report cards, please contact me either through phone, email, or in person.  I want to make sure the end of the year goes smoothly!

Have a great week!

Ms. Gonzales
