Text Box: Dear Second Grade Family, Every Thanksgiving my class makes a Cookbook complete with family recipes, student artwork, and narratives. We put the book together at school and send it to a company called Student Treasures, who then turns it into a “real” hardback book for your family to enjoy. This is a cumbersome task that I would like to get started on now! Please send in the following by 9-4-08 so that we can get started! 5 Family pictures (If you could put them on a disk or email them to me it would be easier, but you can also just send in pictures and I will scan them.) One family recipe (If you could put it on a disk or email it to me it would be easier, but you can also just send it in and I can retype it.) Text Box: We are beginning our unit on Apples today! This is a very fun unit that combines Reading, Writing, Science, and History. We will be doing tons of fabulous apple activities including Apple Day which will take place on Friday September 18th. On Apple Day we will be completing Apple Activities and making apple sauce. We need some volunteers to come and help us on this day. If you would like to help out let me know!
