Mr. Hauptmann’s Class Newsletter
April 27, 2015
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. Let’s have a great
week!
