Donors Choose

I thought you might be interested in my classroom project "Dictionaries And Thesauruses And Word Origins! Oh My!":

http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=333853&utm_source=internal&utm_medium=email&utm_content=project&utm_campaign=TellAFriend

This project will help all GATE grade levels at Chief Manuelito Middle School by providing appropriate level dictionaries and thesauruses. Any donation, no matter the size, is greatly appreciated and will help fund this project. Please feel free to share with others!

This and all other projects at DonorsChoose.org have been submitted by public school teachers who seek resources that will help their students learn.

Contributions are tax-deductible and donors hear back from the classroom they choose to support.

Hoping you'll join us to help bring a classroom project to life,

The DonorsChoose.org Team

Scholastic Book Order

Our first book order came in! We have 9 new books in our classroom library.

The next order is due December 11th, and I anticipate the order coming in after Christmas break. Book orders are in Room 219 if you are interested.

End of October and most of November

The GATE department has been very busy at Chief Maneulito. Out of 40+ referrals, we evaluated almost 30 students. We are now very busy scoring the assessments for the district and hope to be back to a mostly regular schedule soon.

I will update you as we have completed the scoring.

Thanks!
