Mr. Hauptmann's Class Newsletter
U3W5- February, 13, 2012
This week we are reading “The Great
Kapok Tree” by Lynne Cherry. 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!
