The second graders had a fun field trip on Thursday. They attended a play of The Little Prince but then the real fun started after. They got to come on to the stage and learn about all the technical things that go into putting on a play and then they got a backstage tour. After that they went to an acting workshop. What a great experience!
We had a nice weekend and the weather couldn’t have been nicer!! Saturday morning the kids did an egg hunt with the neighbors. Then we went for a nice bike ride in the afternoon. Sunday we did Easter baskets, dyed eggs and enjoyed the day together.

Sweet Cow ice cream!
Cool clouds rolling in during the afternoon. That seems to be the Spring pattern
Happy Easter!
The second grade is studying Advocacy and for this each student picked a cause they wanted to change. A few months back Andrew studied the migration of walruses and learned how quickly glaciers are melting. So he wanted to bring attention to Global Warming which was his topic. He worked very hard researching, gathering facts and finding ways everyone can help. He wrote a speech all by himself and did a great job presenting his work to the parents. As part of his advocacy, Andrew also came up with the idea to have a bike or walk to school day in celebration of Earth Day. The principal was excited about his idea and let him make an announcement to the school and sent an email announcement to the parents. Nice job Andrew!

Saturday was the annual egg hunt but the weather did not cooperate. It snowed the night before and right after the kids gathered up eggs. Guess it’s Spring.
We’ve had a crafty week. Tuesday Andrew painted a flower pot at the Crafty Chassis Truck at the Stanley while Piper was at gymnastics. Then Piper crafted up some Easter baskets for friends.
These photos are from a birthday party at Lava Island. So much fun!
