Some New Info

Mr. Gartland, our reading specialist, came in to work with our class this week and the week before break. The kids worked on questioning and visualizing. These are 2 reading strategies that good readers use. While we were working on questioning, we read an interesting article about a man who trains bugs. You heard me correctly, Steven Kutcher, is a Hollywood "bug" wrangler. The kids loved the article and we tried to access his website but we could not get to it at school. Here is the website so you can check it out with your child at home. home.earthlink.net/~skutcher

Also if you have not already done so, please send in a white cotton t-shirt for your child. We are going to work on tie-dying this Friday afternoon. Please make sure your child's name is on the tag or the bag collar of the shirt. Thanks so much for your cooperation.

I will not be in school Wednesday or Thursday of this week. I have to go to a training course the two days. Ms. Stone will be subbing for us. She has subbed for us a few times in the past. The kids really seem to like her.

Here are this week's words:
