Gonzales Weekly - Open House, Book Fair, and More!!!


Gonzales Weekly
08/27/12

Welcome to another week of school!  This week marks several important events going on around La Paloma Academy!

To start off, we have Open House on Wednesday from 6-8!  There are several assemblies that you should go to, as well as come visit your child’s classroom.  I will have several samples of their work to show you what we do in class.  It is extremely important that you come!  Remember, this is not a time for conferences.  Conferences will take place immediately after Fall Break.  I will begin scheduling them mid-September.  If you wish to have a conference with me before that, I am more than willing to do so!  Just contact me!

Next up is Book Fair!  The book fair will be open after school!  They are taking home a list of books available today!

Finally, mid-quarter grades will go home next week.  They will include all assignments up to this Friday, August 31st. Can you believe it’s already mid-quarter???

In math, we are focusing on finding the Least Common Multiple and Greatest Common Factor.  In reading, we will continue with Maniac Magee. 
In writing, we will begin learning about nouns.  In social studies, your child will write an informative essay on the New England colonies.

  1. either
  2. character
