My Project

This project has items that will help welcome my 2nd graders back to school. I like to make them each a little bag with some penguin goodies, because we are the penguins! It also has daily communication folders for each student. This project also has a larger penguin and bag as we share the penguin and students get to each have him for a weekend and then write about his adventures with him. This project also has some other items that will be used to give them from the desk fairy who comes around weekly to check their desks!
