Mr. Hauptmann’s Class Newsletter
October 6, 2014

This week we are reading “Letters Home from Yosemite” by Lisa Halvorsen.  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 (words are also on SpellingCity.com, search under Mr. Hauptmann>Letters Home from Yosemite). The words in italics are our challenge spelling words. Please sign the bottom of the newsletter and return the lower portion with your child on Tuesday. Let’s have a great short week (no school on Friday)!
