Are you interested in visiting our classroom to share some fun and read a book to our class? If so, please let me know as soon as possible so we can set up a date! We’d love to have you! Who will be our next MYSTERY READER?
It’s that time of the year! Some children are in need of supplies such as pencils, erasers, glue sticks, and crayons. Reminders will be written in their planners. Thank you!

For the next few weeks, our focus will be a novel study on Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown. As the story unfolds, we will take a closer look at the text by talking about point of view, narrative elements, cause and effect, figurative language, making inferences, rereading to clarify, analyzing and reflecting on text, and reading for details and context clues, while strengthening vocabulary skills.
