We have started our rock unit this week. So far everyone is loving what we're learning and having fun. Please help your child find a rock about the size of a baker potato,(about 4x3 ) not too small and not too large,to bring to school. We are going to use this rock for some investigations during class and making it our pet rock. Do your best to find one that will work in class tomorrow. I told the kids about it on Monday and several have already brought them to school. We also were able to look at many varieties of igneous rocks today. I think the most popular was the Obsidian rocks. Tomorrow we'll be looking at Sedimentary and Metamorphic rocks. I love doing these engaging activities with my class. The energy in the room was amazing!
Our turn for the Rad Kids Program will be starting on May 15th and ending with the graduation on Friday, May 26th.(Put that down on your calendar!) The children will be split into two groups and go to Rad Kids on alternating days. They would like to have at least one or two parents come to each Rad Kids session each day to help the instructor. I will be sending home a note with your child's group and what days they will be going to Rad Kids so that way you can volunteer on the day they are attending. Our sessions will be in the mornings from 9:00-11:00.
FUN ACTIVITIES TO COME!!
There will be more information coming soon about many other fun activities like the 2nd Grade Bike Rodeo, Character Charades, Field Trip to the Natural History Museum, and the ever popular Pet Day. So keep your eyes open for when the information will be coming home if you don't hear about it sooner from your children, who I know are already excited about many of these.
Thanks for all that you do and still taking the time to help your child with homework and reading every day!
