remainder of the week studying the concepts presented in Chapter 13:

Note: I’ve asked the students to bring in
a small Ziploc bag of candy as part of the present they will be giving
to their second grade buddies. If your child is unable to bring in a
bag of treats, I will provide him/her with something to give to
his/her buddy. Please send the bags to school with your child no
later than Thursday. Thanks!
Have a wonderful break!
