Easter Egg Hunt

Due to the inclement weather, 2nd grade will be having their easter egg hunt in the elementary gym at 12:00. Parents who were planning on helping hide the eggs will need to be at the gym at 11:45. I will need a parent to come get the eggs from the classroom to take to the gym. If you were planning to help set up the classroom for the party still plan to come at 11:30. Thank you for all your help!

Week of 4/1- 4/5

Reading
We are finishing up our last week of our PBL about insects. The kids have really enjoyed watching our caterpillars form into a chrysalis and now we are just watching and waiting for them to come out and appear as a beautiful butterfly. We have learned a lot about insects and especially butterflies. If you have a shoe box or two that you could send with your child to school that would be very helpful, as we plan to make an insect habitat (diorama) this week.

Math
We are finishing up our last week of telling time on a clock. Our focus this week will be to learn how to tell time to the minute on an analog clock. If you are able, please help your child practice this at home. It can be a hard concept to learn, especially when it is down to the minute.
