Grade 2

Hi Boys and Girls,

It was a great pleasure to have you in my library class this year, we learned so many things. I had so much fun being your library teacher.

Our year has been ripped away from us, and I am sad because I didn't get to say a proper goodbye.

I hope you are staying healthy, happy, and remembering to take good care of yourselves!

I miss each and every one of you, can't wait to have fun in library class and see your smiling faces again.Please keep smiling and stay safe!

KEEP READING!

Love,

Ms. Ilene

Listen to this story about Splat the Cat.

Afterwards, look on your bookshelf and in your room to see if you still have any library books at home. If you find any, ask an adult to return them to the school. They can drop the books in one of the two big boxes at gate 1.

If you are not sure if you still have books checked out, send me your full name and your student ID number and I will reply to tell you what books you have.
