Mrs. Starks' 2nd Grade 22-23

We will have an Everything Goes Day tomorrow. This means they can wear pajamas, something on their head (like a hat or crazy hair), bring a snack, bring a drink, bring candy, bring a stuffed animal or something soft, bring a mindful toy, and a toy (electronics allowed).  In addition, we are going to watch the G version of The Lorax.  We recently read the story so we will compare and contrast the book to the movie.  Let me know if you have any questions.   Thank you! Christine
