De la Seora:
The Locust Grove auction is quickly approaching. You may have heard that we began work on our class project. We are creating a poster of animals that we are making using handprints. There will be one animal for each letter in the Spanish alphabet. Its fun watching their handprints turn into animals! Please look at the important auction information coming home today. As we embark on our journey for Bible and Social Studies, Im looking for anyone who can come talk about a country. If you or someone you know lived in another country, we would love to hear stories, see pictures, and touch souvenirs.
