The Puddle

This week we will begin reading The Puddle by David McPhil. The main idea of the story is about a little boy who plays in a puddle with lots of imaginary friends. Which imaginary friends does he meet? We can't tell you, you'll have to read it with your child to find out!

In our Phonics Reader we will be reading Feeding Wild Birds which reinforces the sound of long i and Ginger the Gerbil which will introduce the sound of /j/g, dge .

Vocabulary: care, course, different, told, largest, listen
Spelling: mild, child, find, kind, wild

Please continue having your child use his/her Study Book to reinforce the skills that we are working on in class.
