Mr. Hauptmann’s Class Newsletter
Unit 4, Week 3- March 26, 2012
We will be taking the MCAS English
Language Arts on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 27-28. It is very important that
your children are well rested and come to school on time. The school will be
providing a morning snack both days, and I will be providing mints and gum for
during the testing session. Please send in an additional healthy snack for
later in the morning. Since we want everyone to be well rested and ready to do
their absolute very best, I will not be assigning homework the night before,
and during the test.
This week we are reading “The King
in the Kitchen” by Margaret Slattery. 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!
