Mr. Hauptmann's Class Newsletter
Unit 5, Week 4- May 21, 2012
This week we are reading “Antarctic
Journal” by Jennifer Owings Dewey.
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!
