Mr. Hauptmann's Class Newsletter
Unit 4, Week 1 (March 5, 2012)
This week we are reading “The
Houdini Box” by Brian Selznick. 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

italics are our challenge spelling words.
Let’s have a great week!
