Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break!

There are so many things  to look forward to here in Dorney Park.

I am excited to see the children on Monday, January 3rd.  We are reading a great story called Violet's Music.  It is a story of a little girl that loved music.  She would have fit in really well in our class.

Here are the spelling words for this story:

pay   wait   paint   train   pail   clay   tray   plain   stain   hay   gray   away   stay   day

As you can see they all have the long 'a' sound!

We are learning another kind of sentence the exclamatory sentence.  We continue to work on our persuasive letter.

In Math we have begun our chapter on solid shapes and in Social Studies we will be learning about traditions and family members .

We will also begin our "Flat Stanley" project .  First we read the story together and then we send out our flat stanley characters to different parts of the USA  and learn more about the 50 states.  In the future we will be writing a book report about a Famous American and have a Great American Celebration in the spring,  So much to look forward to!  Stay tuned.  See you Monday!
