Happy Holidays! 

Next week, we will begin our Christmas Around the World unit of study.  Students  will  rotate to  other second grade classes   to learn  how Christmas is celebrated  in places such as  Japan,  Mexico, and Italy, to name a few!  As they journey, they will be responsible for completing a scrapbook to keep mementos, photos, and facts from their trip to each country! This unit of study will be a fun, interactive, and an awesome  learning experience that your child will never forget.   

Students will not have ELA assessments this week.   However, they should complete a homework assignment for  reading and math each night.  
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.  

Thanks for your continued support! Ms. Dailey
