Our class loves to listen to read aloud stories and I’m sure you’ve heard that we are currently reading Mouse on the Motorcycle.  The kids tell me this is also a movie!  They’re already asking for a Mouse on the Motorcycle party when we are finished reading the book.  If anyone has a copy of the movie, I’d love to borrow it for next week.

Wednesday’s spelling test will be the last one of the year.  We will continue to have reading groups and our Storytown lessons throughout the week, we just won’t have another spelling test.  Thank you for all of the time you have spent helping your child learn these words!
