Thank you to the Junaid Family for sharing such interesting photos and stories about your trip to Pakistan this week. We were moved by the stories of building schools to support rural villagers. Thank you also for generously sharing crafts handmade by children in the school.
We also began the writing process for our Civil War research reports. The children worked in small groups to take notes on encyclopedia material. We learned about the concept of plagiarism, so we practiced putting ideas from reading into our own words. Please kindly make sure your child brings his/her research books and/or internet print outs to school on Monday.
And finally, thank you so much for all the birthday love! I can't imagine a better way to celebrate than with funfetti, freeze dance, and squealing second graders- so much fun! Thank you!
