Mr. Hauptmann’s Class Newsletter
Unit 5, Week 1- April 28, 2014
Welcome back! I hope everyone had
a restful and adventurous vacation! This week we are reading “Sailing Home: A Story of a Childhood at Sea”
by Gloria Rand. 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. Note: We will be taking
the Math MCAS on May 13-14. It is very important that your children are well
rested and come to school on time. I
will send home more information about the MCAS on next Monday’s Newsletter. Let’s
have a great week!
