Reading
In honor of Roald Dahl’s birthday this Friday, we’ve been reading mini class novel – The Twits.
Synopsis from amazon.
Mr. and Mrs. Twit are the
smelliest, nastiest, ugliest people in the world. They hate
everything—except playing mean jokes on each other, catching innocent
birds to put in their Bird Pies, and making their caged monkeys, the
Muggle-Wumps, stand on their heads all day. But the Muggle-Wumps have
had enough. They don’t just want out, they want revenge.
Be sure to follow along with your child as we read through this delightfully hilarious (and sometimes face scrunching) book. We’ll be doing a lot of in-class activities as we read different chapters each day.
Writing
We are continuing to get back into the groove of writing and learning to love it. A few of our focuses this week are:

- Push ourselves to try using new words in our writing.
