G Weekly 10/15


Gonzales Weekly
10/15/12

Happy Monday!

A special thank you to all parents who I met with last week!  I just have three of you to meet with this week and we are set for another year!  Even though these parent teacher conferences are the only ones you are required to do, if you ever have any concerns, please contact me and we can set up another meeting at any time this year.

This week will be very busy!  We are taking another practice AIMS test in math, reading, and writing.  It is ESSENTIAL that your child be in school, especially Monday-Wednesday.  These tests are a great indicator of how they will do on the AIMS – and will tell us what I as their teacher can do to improve their scores.

The cookie dough fundraiser begins today.  Please make sure that your child is fundraising!  The money we make from this goes towards new technology in our classrooms.

In addition to the testing, we will be doing a lot of other activities this week!  In math, we will begin fractions.  In reading, we will continue reading Esperanza Rising (make sure you are asking them about what they are reading!).  In science, we will continue studying the human skeleton.  In social studies, we will learn about the Seven Year's War.  We will begin working on writing introductions in our writing classes.
