Catch me if you can!!

  It's chilly out there! For Tucson, anyway. We will keep warm inside this week and have a fun time, too.
  We will continue our study of Jan Brett's books. This week we will be reading two of her Gingerbread books along with the original story. We will compare and contrast the stories.  Next week, we will be making Gingerbread houses and we are in need of donations such as candy, grahmn crackers and white icing. Send them in if you can.
  Last week we learned about Rescue workers and dogs. We will be having a police dog visit us on Wednesday. The kids are very excited about it.
  This week's spelling words are can't, it's, he's, I'm, didn't, who's, she's, aren't, isn't, haven't, hadn't, I'll, great, worst.
  Have a super week and keep warm!

Jan Brett Author Study

  This week we will begin our 3 week author study of Jan Brett. She has written some wonderful "winter" books and she is an awesome illustrator of children's literature. This week we will start by comparing 'The Mitten" and "The Hat".
   We will be back to our normal routine of homework on Monday and spelling test on Friday. As far as the holidays go...we will not be having a gift exchange in our class. We will be making gingerbread houses the last week of school and could use some candy donations of any kind as well as Graham crackers. We will need a few volunteers, too. More on that later!

   It's going to be a great and super fast 3 weeks! Bring it, December!!                                                        
 Spelling Words for this week:  hard, born, horse, before, more, smart, farm, porch, corn, chore, score, part, pull, break.
