Hello boys and girls!
Hopefully by now everyone has received their graduation
package!
It’s hard to believe this is your last full week of home-schooling
in second class! We are going to continue with our fun activities again this
week.
The activities listed daily are only suggested activities,
so pick and choose which ones you would like to do. Don’t forget you can email
us your work or share it via the Aladdin Connect app. We love seeing your work!
If you have your workbooks at home, you can continue to work
on them, a page or two a day.
We hope you have been enjoying yourself and playing outdoors
when the sun is shining and even when it’s not! Put on your raincoat and
wellies and have fun!

Owens & Ms Cafferky
