Thank You Grandma and Grandpa Greenstein! 

29/10/2016

 
Grandma and Grandpa Greenstein have donated some fabulous book series to 1st and 2nd class. We are currently reading "My Weird School", My Weird School Daze", "The Magic Tree House", "Henry and Mudge" and our "Non Fiction Books". They have also kindly given us some reading prizes. If we finish a series of books then we get to choose a prize. 

​We want to say a great, big "Thank You" to Grandma and Grandpa Greenstein for their interest in developing our reading and their kindness and generosity.
