Unfortunately, today was Jacqulyn's last day in our class. Her family is moving into a new home in another neighborhood. We will miss her. Students decorated their shoe boxes that will be used to keep the mini books that come home each Friday. Your child should keep the box near their bed so they can practice reading them each night. We started a vocabulary curriculum this week called Text Talk. We read the book "Gregory the Terrible Eater" about a goat who is considered by his parents to be a terrible eater because he enjoys healthy foods instead of the types of things goats eat. They learned the words "average," "revolting," and "nutritious." Please use these words this weekend and see if you get a reaction from your child. I would love to hear what happens!
