Dear Parents,

        We are about to read the book Crysanthemum by Kevin Henkes in class. In this story, a little mouse is given a very long name that her parents think is perfect for her. However, when she goes to school her classmates hurt her feelings and tease her that her name is way too long. This book will lead us into learning about how teasing hurts others and ways we can become better classmates to each other.

   We will also participate in some reading work with this book and fun activities with our own names! To prepare for the activities that follow this book, please help your child with some research regarding their name. Please complete the “Research Sheet” attached and return it to school no latter then Wednesday, October 22, 2014.

Also Santa Letters are due Wednesday as well! 

   Thanks a bunch!

    Ms. Juarez
