A Letter for Nico

1Dear Nico,
We miss you in Room 12! We hope you feel better soon. Your seat by the window is waiting for you. Here is some news from our class.

2In gym, Sam taught himself to jump rope backward. He tried ten times before he did it, and then we all cheered! Lily painted the big sunflower on the front of this card by herself.

3Ana and Ben have a new class job. They water our class plants by themselves every morning. The bean plant is now taller than a ruler! Also, our door got a new spring, so now it closes by itself. Bang! Everyone jumps when it shuts.

4We made this card ourselves. I wrote this whole letter myself. Please take good care of yourself, and come back soon!
Your friend,
Maya
