Dear Parents,
We start
Christopher Columbus by D'Aulaire on Monday! This will take us a couple of weeks to complete, but it is one of my favorites. The illustrations are beautiful, and I think your child will really enjoy this one. It is, sadly, our last book we will read this year.
Since we missed an extra week of school, we will barely finish our Singapore Math curriculum; we will definitely not have that extra week to complete all the reviews in the back of 2B. The reviews would be great to complete over the summer when brains gets rusty ;).
Please don't forget to text me a picture or email me your child's Time and Capacity Quiz if you have not done so from last week.
Have a blessed week!
Mrs. Poncy
