Mr. Hauptmann’s Class Newsletter
Unit 4, Week 5- April 2, 2012
This week we are
reading “Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Slippery Salamander” by Donald
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!
