Pi Day
Thank you for all of the wonderful pies you sent for our Pi Day. Yum!!!
Pi Day
PEGS I and PEGS II enjoyed participating in some of the Pi Day activities together.
Mathethone
Vincent and Dominic Nixon represented our class in the District-wide March Mathethone. The third grade team from Red Bridge won the third grade division in problem solving and fluency. Our class was able to watch the competition in our classroom over the district media site. Way to go boys!!
Genre for April and May
For both April and May the students will have a choice of genre for both months. The students will continue to read a minimum of 200 pages each month (second graders) and 300 pages for third graders.
Worm Experiments
We continue to work on our worm farm. If you would like for your child to have a mini-worm farm at home, please send a glass jar with a lid. We will be happy to share some of the worms from the worm farm.
Pollinator Garden Update
Butterfly House
Is anyone willing to provide the materials and then install our butterfly house? I'm sure you would have plenty of helpers for this project.
Bird Feeder
Again, we are looking for someone who would install our bird feeder. Both the butterfly house and bird feeder have been donated to our pollinator garden.
Bee Inn
The class has been reading about an Inn for bees. (not a hive for producing honey) We think there might be a spot for it in our garden. Another volunteer might like to take on this project. Just let us know if you might enjoy this project.
