Winter Experiments

The students of 2A have been given a packet of wintertime experiments and 2 reading activities to be completed over the next three weeks.  All experiments will be due the 31st of January. 

I hope you will enjoy doing these experiments with your child .

Happy Winter Days!

On the list below you will notice that your child has a day for “Show & Tell”. Items that are related to what we are studying are appreciated, as well as, items dealing with science and nature. I would like to ask you to discourage all items that have a violent connotation. One item may be brought or, if they choose, they may just do a “Tell”

1^st & 3^rd Friday - Girls                  2^nd & 4^th Friday – Boys

It has been my practice for all my many years of teaching to celebrate the children’s birthdays with a nutritious snack. You may bring in muffins, soft pretzels or create a fun treat with your child. The children eat their snack on the playground, so please, “NO CUPCAKES”. Summer birthdays may celebrate on the ½ birthday or in May; please let me know in advance when you choose.

During the year, each child will have the opportunity to be our “Special Butterfly”. Listed below are the dates I have matched with your child. These were chosen at random, so please feel free to change with another child if this causes a conflict. I will send a reminder notice a week before your child’s date is due, at that time, if you would send in a note as to what you have planned, I will add it to our schedule.

Monday: Bring in pictures of family and special interests mounted on a poster board

Tuesday: “Surprise Box”   I have a little box into which you and your child will put an item, then you will write on a card 3 clues for your child to give to the class. The class then tries to guess. More details are in the box.

Wednesday: Join us for lunch

Thursday: Send in a nutritious snack

Friday: “The Estimation Jar” Your Butterfly may bring in a number (between 25 & 100) of the same item to be placed in a jar. The class will then estimate how many are in the jar. For example: 35 pencils, 26 spider rings, etc. Then your Butterfly will share the items with their classmates, taking the remainder home.
