Second Grade:

For Thursday bring a English to Spanish dictionary. The smaller the better!
No dictionary? No points.

Please follow the specific instructions for next week's assignment. Again I repeat, it is a class assignment, not to be done or finished at home.  The decoration to use should be according to the story and the student's drawing.
Books are available at the school's library or your municipality's library.
Chapter books are not allowed. It has to be a story, one that your child will understand.
Remember: IT SHOULD BE CLASS AND AGE APPROPRIATE.
