With this week being only three days, we do not have a letter of the week or a word family we will be concentrating on. We have added a new sight word: at and we will be reviewing letters we have learned and focus on our reading groups every day in the afternoon.

Today we read a wonderful story that was a highlight last week at the book fair. Library Mouse by Daniel Kirk is a story about a mouse who lives in the school library and writes stories that the people in the library love. The students and teachers love the books so much, they want to meet the author of these amazing books! Will the mouse reveal himself?...... Read Library Mouse and you can find out! As an extended activity to this book, the students are working on their own "mini" books.

Tuesday, we will have the pleasure of learning about another great art piece through the "Aventures in Art" program.

I am looking forward to meeting with each of you at conferences!
