Miss Tigges's 2nd Grade Newsletter
April 8, 2016
A Few Announcements & Resources...
- Please remember to send your child to school with a light coat during these spring rainy and windy days. Many students have come to school this week with just a sweatshirt, which is not enough to keep the kids warm during our lunch recess at 11:10 AM. When in doubt, please send your child with a light coat.
- We are finishing our learnings on community & cultures this week. The students wanted me to share some of the resources we've explored online so they could continue exploring the resources at home. Please share with them and enjoy! :)
- Music Around the World
- Dance Around the World
- Time for Kids Around the World
- Classrooms Around the World
- Birthdays Around the World
- Animal Noises Around the World
