I hope you are all enjoying your vacation week! As promised, I have put together a slideshow of our fabulous trip to The Butterfly Place in Westford. Thanks to all of the parents who joined us:

Kate Ozpeynirci
It was a wonderful wrap up to our study of the life cycle of Butterflies. The students enjoyed watching our caterpillars grow and form chrysalids, break open and spread their wings as Butterflies, and then fly off to their new home in the woods behind our building. The send off was a joyful occasion with wishes for a happy life and much cheering!
Our final field trip will be to the North End of Boston to enhance our study of Communities, on Friday, May 26. Any and all parents can join us on this one and it is a favorite! Please check with Leslie Corner in our office to make sure your CORI form is up to date, as soon as possible, if you think you can make it.
Several families have sent in their Flat Stanley adventure materials and we look forward to hearing your child present this information to the class! Please make sure they have prepared and practiced this presentation at home- they can read something that was written for them, say a little about any pictures that were received, etc. We will be accepting them for another week, and putting a mark on a bulletin board in our hallway for all to see the places they visited.
This and much more will be available to see at our Open House, on Friday May 19. It starts at 8:30 in Room 6, and I hope you can all join us!
Over the next couple of weeks we will be starting our unit on Communities, continuing our work in 3-digit Addition and Subtraction, as well as reading and writing Poetry. We have much still to accomplish in second grade, but we are in the final weeks and truly enjoying the friendships and routines we have created.
Another wonderful event that is coming up is called Spring Reset, and will be held in our Gymnasium on April 27 at 6:30 pm. This will feature a few members of our class demonstrating a Mindfulness/ Meditation routine that we have been practicing, to help us calm our bodies and focus our minds. Click here for the information... we hope you can make it!
As always, we appreciate your support and encouragement of your child’s education. We have an amazing village here at Happy Hollow!! Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
