Dear Second Grade Families,
Thank you to all who volunteered in our primary centers on Friday. Your time in our classroom makes our primary centers fun!
Last week, we had Captain Romero come visit our class with a fire truck. The children had a great time learning about firefighters daily routines and climbing into the fire truck to take a peek. A big thank you, to Captain Romero for taking the time to visit and educate our students.
