Arthur Unit

Arthur stories by Marc Brown are a class favorite. They are also a wonderful teaching tool. We've been using this Arthur unit to:

• Use appropriate comprehension skills and strategies
• Interpret and respond to literature
• Write a variety of types of texts
• Communicate effectively

Throughout this unit, we are focusing on Making Connections, Visualizing and Summarizing. The kids are responding well and as the unit has progressed, the kids have been able to make more Text-to-Text connections. Unsure what that is? Ask your child! :)

Welcome 2012

Happy New Year!
We welcomed the new year with writing our own resolutions. The kids had great ideas of things they could work on in the new year. "Being nice," "Helping Mommy with the dishes," and "Read more books," were just a few of the things the kids came up with.
Miss Cuenca's resolution? Getting the classroom organized and keeping it CLEAN. ;)
Hope all your resolutions last longer than mine inevitably will!

Getting organized at Target. Thanks N.L for the gift card from the beginning of the year! It went to great use! (Finally!)
