Gonzales Weekly 08/06/12

Welcome to the second week of school!  We had a great first two days, and we will begin more rigorous academics starting today!

I would like to thank parents for sending so many supplies to my room!  I will make sure to use them efficiently throughout the year!

In math, we will begin reviewing multiplication and our multiplication facts.  It is important that your child knows their multiplication facts from 0-12.  If they do not know, please practice with them every day!

For reading, we will be starting Maniac Magee.  Please make sure that your child has a copy of this book!  It is essential that they have their own copy, as we will be doing a lot of work in class with it!

Your child will be expected to do a lot of writing in my room.  We will begin a persuasive piece of writing this week.
