Welcome Back!

We are off to a very busy start in GATE classes. I am pleased with the number of students that have come to class prepared with their notebooks/binders and pencils. Please check with your child on their GATE day to be sure they have the necessary supplies. Also, please check the binders each week for returned papers. If would be helpful if you would go over the Math Rules and Logic papers on a weekly basis and have the students explain the processes they used to work through their papers. Also, make sure they understand any problems they may have missed after we have gone over the papers. If they are still having problems, please let me know.

Our Zookeepers are busy, busy, busy!

Our first and second grade GATE students are studying a unit on the zoo. They must carefully work together to save all the animals from being taken away by the Mayor and City Council. Each morning, they must carefully inspect the cages to see if the Mayor was able to sabatoge the cages. If the dangerous items are not found, our animals are taken away and given to other zoos. By working hard to raise five million "zoo" dollars, we will be able to renovate the zoo with natural habits instead of cages with bars. Be sure to ask your little "zookeeper" all about this fun and exciting unit!

Morgan had to say good-bye to the monkey.

Thanks to Cale's hard work, the monkey was later returned to our zoo. YEAH Cale!

All the Zookeepers looking hard to protect the animals from the Mayor's sabatoge!
