On Tuesday we did some Lucky Charm graphing. We sorted marshmallows and tallied our results!

On Wednesday we had a Hug-a-Tree workshop. We learned about surviving in the outdoors. Ask your child what he/she learned! A pamphlet was sent home for you to read regarding this program.

We are busy getting ready for our Celebration of Learning. We are so excited to show you all of things we have been working on!

Students will come to school with you on Friday, March 27^th. Our classroom will be open from 9:00 – 12:00 and 1:00 – 4:00. Other families may be in the classroom with your family at the same time.

During this time you will have the opportunity to look at some of the exciting things that we have been doing in the classroom. The amount of time you stay is entirely up to you. You can stay for 15 minutes or you can stay for an hour. I will set up an area in the classroom and will be available to answer any questions you may have about your child and grade 2.

I’m looking forward to seeing you on March 27^th!
