Week of Dec. 12-16th

I apologize for the late update on the blog!

We are gearing up and getting ready for the wonderful Winter Holiday vacation that is quickly approaching!

This week we have been doing a really fun rotation within all of the second grade classes as we learn about holiday traditions around the world. Please be sure to ask your child about the countries they have "traveled" to, what is in their suitcase and some of the new traditions they have learned about.

As you know, we do not have any homework, spelling, or a focus story this week.

The only tests your child will have on Friday is Daily Language and Daily Math! :o)
