April 21-25

Dear Parents,
   I hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful Spring weather! The past couple of weeks have been action packed as we continue to prepare for Second Grade. We have traveled to our Northern and Southern neighbors: Canada and Mexico and are now ready to travel around the world. Can you believe we only have 4 weeks left together?  The children already promised me that they would visit me next year; I hope you do as well!

 One of our last four weeks together will be INTERNATIONAL TRAVELERS WEEK!!! I know we have been excited about traveling all over the world through our new I.B. Unit, but International Travelers Week will take learning to a whole new level as we travel to Austrailia! From what I have heard so far, this week will be amazing!
