Happy Friday!!

Happy Friday second graders! Like I went over in class you all need to ask your parent(s) or guardian(s) about their experiences with animals. Come to class on Monday with a story to tell about your parents experiences during sharing time. The link for the Zoo we are going to is posted at the bottom below my name. Have a great weekend and I will see you all on Monday!
