Merry Christmas!

Great job, Second Grade, on the Christmas Play!

All Second Grade students need to bring an art gift in by Monday, December 16.This gift needs to be only a $10.00 value and needs to be a good gift for a boy or girl. Anyone in the classroom could end up with the gift at the end of a game that we will do for an exchange. This could be anything from coloring to slime making. Be creative! This class loves to be creative!  If this is a burden on your family, please let me know privately. 

Our Christmas party will be on Thursday, December 19, starting at 1:30. Everyone is welcome to attend, but you do not have to.
