How do families cooperate?



This week we read the story "Plaidypus Lost," by Janet Stevens.





We have almost learned the entire animal alphabet song!!!

Your children have started to create beautiful journal entries with many detailed drawings some of them are even starting to put words to their writing. Be sure to talk to them about what they are writing.


They are great storytellers!!! We also read "Olivia and the Missing Toy," "Paisley," and "What Shall we do Blue Kangaroo?"
