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!   Andrew’s presentation about Global Warming.  Making the announcement to the school. His class pledged to bike or walk to school on Earth day. Inspiring the school to do their part.His written presentation

 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!

Snuggling in

On Tuesday the kids were wearing shorts to school and then on Wednesday it snowed.  We went from 80 degrees to snow in a day!  Crazy stuff but I hear this is typical for Colorado.  The weather does keep it exciting!  This storm was supposed to be a blizzard but we didn’t get much snow and the winds weren’t that bad.

A beautiful snow globe.

Spring soccer season has begun.  The boys played a double header on Saturday and won both games.  Looks like it’s going to be another exciting season.
