We met with our buddies from Mrs. Lees' class today.  Our older friends read a variety of Jan Brett books to our students  We also completed a "FAST" comprehension activity.  Each pair picked a main character from their book and told how they believe the character Feels, Acts, and what the character Says and Thinks.

We had a great first day in 2014 at Stratton. Mr. Hanna showed us a video with samples on how we can be responsible in school.

We were pleased to see that many students brought in stories telling about their winter break.

Tomorrow we will launch our Penguin unit!

Hello Room 4 families,
We hope you all have enjoyed a restful and happy vacation... and it looks like it's going to be a little longer now, too!
We wanted to keep you informed of a few things now that our vacation has just been extended :)
1. In the next day or so... be on the look out for an email from us via Sign up Genius.  It will have a link to our Mystery Reader /surprise guest that will be happening on Thursdays.
2. We did not assign homework for vacation, but if your child would like to write us a story or a descriptive piece about a favorite toy or event - we'd love to see it !  Your child will receive a popsicle stick for their efforts. 
3. Our penguin unit will begin...whenever we get back! But, we are in need of your small plastic water bottles.  Dig them out of the recycle bin and send them in ASAP.  We need the caps on and labels peeled off - please.  The Poland Spring PODS work well.  We will be turning them into little penguins. 
4. Keep READING!!!

This information was sent out by email.  Please let us know if you did not receive it and let us know the best email address to use.  
Stay warm and safe.
Tell your child that we will see them soon - 
All the best,
Mrs. Pratt and Mrs. Barth
