Reading:   This week our genre is fiction.  As we read our stories, we will be looking for the character, setting, problem, and ending in our stories.  We will also be discussing the sequence of the plot –beginning, middle, end.  We will also be determining the author’s purpose of the selections we read (to inform or to entertain).  As you read with your child at home, please take a few minutes to discuss these aspects of a story.  Our high-frequency sight words:

         which             hundred                

         places             either                     

         those               apart                        

         over                 also
         begin               without

                     

Please hang this letter in a handy spot so you can help your child practice reading the words from it a couple of times each day.

Reminders:

*Monday is a delayed start.

*Donations for the PTO theme baskets are due by January 23.

*Breakfast is served at 7:55 every morning.  If you would like your child to have breakfast, please make sure he/she is here in a timely manner.

Have a great weekend!
