Unit 1 Week #5
This
week we are reading “Letters Home from Yosemite” by Lisa Halvorsen. 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 (words are also on SpellingCity.com). The
words in italics are our challenge spelling words. Please sign the bottom of the newsletter and return the lower portion
with your child on Tuesday. Let’s have a great week!
