First Homework Assignment

5 Clues in a Bag
Homework Assignment
Due Thursday, August 27th


Dear Second Graders,

Here is your very first homework assignment this year. We can’t wait to hear all about your summer adventures. Let’s play a game! Can you guess what I did this summer?

Here are the rules:

Collect 5 items that are clues to things you did over the summer that will fit in the zip lock bag provided to you in your homework folder.

For example, a toy airplane could represent a trip you took with your family. Goggles could represent swim lessons that you took. A movie ticket could represent a favorite movie you saw this summer. You may use real items, (ex. coins from a foreign country, key chain from Disneyland, shells from the beach) pictures from the internet, photos that you have taken or take a photo of something that doesn’t fit in your bag.

1. Please do not include clothing or valuable items.
2. Use the bag provided (bigger bags or items will not be accepted).
3. All bags and items will be returned, however do not include items that need to be returned right away.


We will be writing about and displaying our summer bag adventures in our classroom.

You will be sharing your bag with another classmate who will try and guess what you did this summer.

Sound interesting? Great! You may begin!

Be creative and have fun!

Mrs. Callanen and Mrs. Sederstrom
