Due to last week’s snow days, we will continue to do last week’s spelling words, unit 14.

Today your child brought home an envelope from Hot Springs Circle of Friends and Children’s Hospital. This week only, we will be in a competition with the other 2nd grade classes to raise money for Children’s Hospital. For every dollar your child brings in, they will get their name on a heart in the hallway. The class who raises the most money receives a Chick-fil-A party with the cow!!!! My class has won the last two years and I would love to keep the streak going!!!! Let’s raise money for those sweet babies at ACH!!!!!
