From the Principal...
Below are some vocabulary terms to think about from chapters 1 and 2. Review the vocabulary terms for all students. As you discuss, these sentences with your child, 3rd and 4th grade should recognize these sentences as complex sentences. This is a new skill for 3rd grade and a review for 4th grade students. What a great extension for learning at home.
- When he came to the gate of the neat little bungalow at 432 Proudfoot Avenue, he turned in. (a low house, with a broad front porch, having either no upper floor or upper rooms set in the roof)
- Mrs. Popper picked up her mending, while Mr. Popper collected his pipe, his book, and his globe. (things to be repaired by sewing or darning)
- As he put on his spectacles, he was quite pleased at the prospect of a whole winter of reading travel books, with no work to interrupt him. (another term for glasses)
Happy Reading,
Casey Hanna
Mr. Popper's Penguins
- After you finish each chapter, complete the coupons sent home with your child and turn them into Ms. Wilson in the library.
- Your family's penguin will be placed on the "Penguin Plunge" wall. It will be moved down towards the final "Penguin Plunge" after each chapter is read together.
- Coupons will also be placed in a drawing. Every Friday your family has a chance to win special prizes.
NEEDED!
