Mr. Hauptmann’s Class Newsletter
Unit 3, Week 4- February 4, 2013
This week we are reading “Eye of the
Storm” by Stephen Kramer. 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!
