Travel around the World
Hello 2nd graders and Families,
This week we are going to be taking virtual field trips all over the World. Students will read about the places they will travel to first, then go on the virtual field trip, and finally, they will write about it. I am excited for the students to experience all of these places and hopefully, they will learn some new things along the way and of course have fun! Let's have a great week. Please let me know if there is anything you need or have questions.
Love,
Mrs. Hamman
