PenPals

Today we wrote letters to our PENPALS! Each student has been given a PenPal to write to from Linden Park! We had a blast writing to them today and we can't wait to get letters back!

The picture above is our Celebrations and Traditions door display. It has everything we've learned about in Social Studies.The unit is coming to an end, but we had so much fun learning about different celebrations and traditions. This week your child will be presenting their celebration that they created - we have some great ideas!

Don't forget to get your pizza orders in! Pizza Day is Friday!
