Mr. Hauptmann’s Class Newsletter
Unit 3, Week 2- January 23, 2012
This week we are reading “Adelina’s
Whales” by Richard Sobol. We will focus on some vocabulary words in this
story. It would be helpful if you
will reinforce the meaning of these words at home with your child. Also, on this newsletter you will find
our spelling words for the week.
Please practice these words at home as well. The words in italics are our challenge spelling words. Let’s have a great week!
