2nd Grade Homework Guide 4/6

Bonjour!

Tonight's homework should be fairly straightforward, but just in case, the student needs to write the correct name of each object on the line. There is a word bank underneath the image. In addition, their quizzes will be coming home in the black folders tomorrow, and I would like to see all of them signed by a parent or guardian and returned by Monday.

As always, feel free to reach out with any additional questions via e-mail at gruchames@archwaylincoln.org.
