2A Families,
Thank you for joining us for parent teacher conference week! It was a pleasure to meet all of you and share about your child’s progress.
We now have the sign up geniuses for classroom volunteers!

As a reminder, Read-A-Thon is on Thursday. Please no pop culture costumes!
We also have a half day this Friday. Students will be dismissed at 11:45am.

HISTORY
Next week we are learning about one of the greatest feats of engineering in the world: The Great Wall of China. Your child should be able to recognize the Great Wall and understand the work required as well as why it was built. If your family enjoys documentaries, here is a good National Geographic video about the Great Wall.
