What’s New in
Grade Two?
Jan. 28- Feb. 1, 2013

 Keep selling those World’s Finest Chocolate bars!  We NEED a NEW playground!   I’ve already sold 250!  If I sell more than the other teachers, Mrs. Cramer will teach our class for a ½ day, while I get to go HOME!!  I love you kiddos very much, but I love a ½ day to myself too!

Parent/Teacher conferences will be February 18th from 1-3.  I would like to meet with each family this time, but it will be impossible to see everyone on this day.  I am hoping to make arrangements with many of you to meet right after school during the week before.

Mrs. Allen
