Important Reading Information
We will be reading the novel Mr. Popper’s Penguins for the next two and one half weeks. We will not be using our reading book. Students will be tested as usual on the phonics and comprehension. However, we will be using vocabulary from Mr. Popper’s Penguins. **Vocabulary will be tested separately next week.**
Parents are invited to go on our field trip this Friday! It is a school-wide rule that we ask you to not bring siblings or other children. Thank you!
Remember to read every day!!
