Don't be surprised if your child suddenly wants a new lunchbox. One of our stories this week is about a boy who wants a lunchbox. He is too young to go to school, but as their father buys his sister a new lunchbox to start school, the younger brother wants one, too. We also read about a dragon who discovered a use for his fire breath--popping corn! We put some new words onto the word wall today. I need to post a new list for you. My main focus right now is getting every one's reading score as high as I possibly can. By the end of the year, students should be at a level 4, but students lose a lot of ground over the summer and we want them to begin first grade at a level 4. Please don't stop reading to your child over the summer. They are learning so much and will need lots of reinforcement over the summer in order to maintain their skills.

Don't' forget to return library books tomorrow!
