We are starting a four
week reading unit
about folktales from
around the world. This
would be a wonderful
opportunity for you to
share childhood stories
with your second
grader. Encourage him
or her to retell the
stories to classmates to
pass on the tradition.
Our mission is clear and the
possibilities are endless!
