Student of the
Week
Luke will be our “Student of the Week” for next
week. I will send out a master list for the student of the week date that you
chose at curriculum night. If you forgot
to sign up or if you were unable to make it to curriculum night, then I put
your name in a slot that was still open.
There will be a note in the bag that will be sent home the Friday before,
reminding you of the time you are to come in & read or share your
occupation.
Thanks.

Author of the Month
Last week we read Mr. Seahorse
by Eric Carle. The book discussed the
different ways that fish & sea horses cared for their eggs. We painted a piece of paper many colors and
then cut out a sea horse and added a wiggly eye. This is how Eric Carle makes the
illustrations for his books.
We also visited Eric Carle's website and
did a little exploring on it.
Homework
Homework is
being sent home on Thursday. Please help
your child to read it and complete the pages. You may return it on Friday or
the following Monday. I am also sending home a Making Words sheet. You may use this to have your child practice
his/her spelling words at home. I do not
need these papers back.
This past
week we worked on “Reading to Someone.”
The children were given partners and a book to share. We went over the rules and expectations and then
practiced in order to build up our stamina.
The children were able to read with a partner for 15 minutes so
far. They’re really doing a nice job.
