Weekly Newsletter for 1/11/19

Dear 2nd Grade Families,

Welcome back from Winter Break! I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing time with their families. This week we have gotten back into the swing of things and jumped right in from where we left off before break. Some Room 4 and 7 students in Ms. You’s ALD class are doing a unit on rocks and minerals and will be asked to bring some from home (no more than 5) in a ziplock baggie with their name on it. Please make sure any rocks and minerals brought to school are not valuable as they may get lost or stolen.
