Dear Parents,
Thank you all for a wonderful year - it has been my privilege to teach your children and watch them grow and learn in second grade. I could not have done it without all of your support at home!
Please keep your child reading this summer - it's the best thing you can do to prevent the "summer learning slump". We don't want them to forget everything they learned this year!
