Dear Eva,

Today was the last day of 2nd grade. I feel happy and sad at the same time. I am happy because summer break has begun. I can sleep as late as I want. I can also see my friends at camp and go on vacation with my dad. But I am also sad. I am going to miss my teacher, Mr. Baxter. He was the best teacher I ever had!

Write to me soon and tell me about your last day of school.
