Welcome 2016-2017 Students and Families!

Greetings!

The new year is in full swing, and the Globetrotters are now online!

Communication with home is important to me and Mrs. Royal, and we all have different preferences in how we best receive information.  So, in addition to your child's planner, the following list is of the main modes of communication that you can utilize throughout the year to stay informed of what's happening here in the classroom:
  • The blog's purpose is to share and celebrate the things that are happening in the classroom. Pictures and descriptions will be posted to celebrate classroom events that are unique to our class. These posts will occur on a irregular basis--so sign up to receive an email when the blog is updated.  (Previous year's posts are not deleted.)
  • Newsletters will go home biweekly to reflect on what work has been done in the classroom and to communicate upcoming curriculum happenings as well as important dates.
  • The website's (www.gonzalezglobetrotters.webs.commain function is to provide you with the weekly spelling list, calendar of events and an electronic version of our classroom newsletter. It also includes helpful links to online academic resources and educational/fun videos.
  • The Remind Messaging Group is an efficient way for me to send out daily/weekly reminders.
**If you have completed a Denial to Publish form, your child's face and name will not be shared via the blog, web or electronic newsletter.**
I look forward to sharing with you throughout the year the special things that happen in your child's learning at school!

Expert Project Complete!

Over the past month, the students did a wonderful job researching, planning, presenting and reporting on an animal that is known to be feared.   They presented their findings to each other, their peers, 4th graders and various staff!   As a result, they each received a certification of expertise ;)  Enjoy the photos below:
