Wednesday's Agenda

We continue to work hard on folktales. I anticipate we will be done with speeches by the end of the week so next week we will start practicing our speeches. We are also beginning to write our own folktales so we are very busy in second grade! Keep staying healthy and coming to school each day;-) Have a great evening. Don't forget Spring Fair is this weekend.
Hugs,
Mrs. Del Balzo
