Highlights

On Friday students received their Read-a-thon information packages.  Please write the number of minutes your child reads each day on the Read-a-thon sheet.  During writing, we started planning a story about a treasure chest.  In Science, we talked about reading a thermometer.  We will be using thermometers to measure different temperatures this week.

Students in our class are allowed to bring a stuffy or plush animal on Thursday since they have been working hard!
