08/13/12 Gonzales Weekly



Welcome to the second full week of school!

By now, your child should be fully aware of the expectations in my classroom during work time.  I have very high expectations to ensure that your child is prepared for AIMS in April, as well as future classrooms.  Please check in with me if you have any concerns about what I ask for in my class!

Open House is Wednesday, August 29th.  This is NOT time for Parent/Teacher Conferences.  It is for you to get acquainted with your child’s classroom and get to see some of the work we have completed this month.  I will be doing official Parent/Teacher Conferences in mid-October after Fall Break.  If you have concerns before that, please let me know and we can either discuss it via phone/email or set up a meeting time!  I know I’ve already spoken with several parents and things have gone great so far!  I love all of the communication I’ve had with parents this year!

I sent out an email to parents on my listserv about homework and I’ll remind everyone else here as well: math and spelling homework is due Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings.  Reading logs are due Fridays as well.  Any other homework will most likely be due the very next day.

Academics:
Math – Long division
Reading – Chapters 4-11 of Maniac Magee.  IF YOUR CHILD STILL DOES NOT HAVE A COPY OF THIS BOOK AND I HAVE NOT SPOKEN WITH YOU YET, THEY WILL BE RECEIVING POINT DEDUCTIONS FOR EVERY DAY THEY DO NOT HAVE IT.
Writing – A continuation of narrative essays.  We will focus on structure this week!
Social Studies – We will study the Southern colonies in colonial America.

Spelling list (16-20 are bonus words for the 20 word list people!  They know what list they are on!):
1.       cord
2.       chord
3.       seam
4.       seem
5.       sole
6.       soul
7.       piece
