Mr. Hauptmann’s Class Newsletter
October 13, 2015
This
week we are reading “The Evil Swirling Darkness” by Lauren Tarshis. 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,
search under Mr. Hauptmann>Evil Swirling Darkness). Please sign the bottom of the newsletter and return the lower portion
with your child on Wednesday. Let’s have a great short week!
