First Day of G.A.T.E ... Success!
Class has begun! I have loved seeing my old GATE family and meeting my new GATE friends the past two days! I have been anxiously awaiting class to begin...and what a great start! As usual, we took the First Day of GATE photos. I have four great groups!
Rubik's Cube Whiz!
Brady Quarles is "Master" of the Rubik's Cube! Not only did Brady solve ONE cube...he solved 12 Rubiks Cubes! He solved one in 2 minutes 57 seconds! Wow! That is impressive! Way to go, Brady!

Welcome back to G.A.T.E. 2013-2014!
AES is fortunate to have our Chinese teacher, Mrs. Lakur Yu, back on our campus for this year. Mrs. Yu has many interesting stories to tell about growing up in China. I look forward to her visiting our GATE classes to share about the culture, the language, and - of course, ORIGAMI! One of our 3rd grade moms has offered to share with the students about her experiences living in Japan. I know we will learn a great deal from her! Also, we hope to learn from our friends who have family in Mexico about traditions and customs there. This year will be enlightening for all of us as we find similarities with others and CELEBRATE the differences.
As usual we will continue different art activities as well as learn many new applications on our MacBooks. I am excited to see my 4th graders who became part of my GATE family last year and I look forward to getting to know my new 3rd graders next week!
Welcome back to GATE!
