Ms. Healey's Second Grade Class
May 2016
Message to Parents
Second grade has finished planting their garden that was a part of a $500 CHEF (Collins Hills Educational Foundation) grant awarded to Dr. Howard. The kids have enjoyed learning about plants and their needs, and that gardening is hard work! We will continue to go outside to water and tend to our plants. We also have a butterfly kit in our room. Our caterpillars are now in their chrysalis stage and next week they should be emerging into monarch butterflies. We will release them into the garden when they're ready!
