They have selected their animal and habitat in class and the information packet has been sent home. Your child will be doing research at school their project, but they will need to complete the report and diorama at home. The diorama will need to include their animal and have an accurate replication of their animal’s habitat. Your child will need to complete the report in their own handwriting and will need to do most of the work on the diorama. Spanish Word of the Week: Hasta luego – See you later Letterland: Unit Twenty-Eight Students will learn the third sound, /t/, of the suffix –ed. They will also learn that ed has magic sparks that take the place of Magic e in making a Vowel Man appear. If you lose the word list, you can always go to our class webpage and print the list.
