 READING

          Next week we will be reading a story Next week we will be reading the book called The Name Jar.  This story is about a young girl named Unhei, who moves from Korea and goes to school in America for the first time.  Other children can’t pronounce her name and tease her, so the thinks about choosing an American name.  We will be discussing and writing about how to treat our friends.  Another story we will read is about two unlikely animals that become friends

                   Spelling
Next week we will begin spelling.  We will be using the program Words Their Way.  Each week the children will be working with words and putting the words into sorts.  They will have a spelling test in two weeks.  The test will be on 12 of the words they have been working on at school and home.
