Week 24 ~ Feb. 24 - Feb. 28, 2020


I hope you and your family enjoyed the snow day on Friday!  The kids were super excited when the snow began to fall at school on Thursday!  The last few days of February are upon us and it sounds like they are going to be wet days.  Slip some dry clothes in those backpacks if you haven’t already done so in case we are able to get outside and play.  And thanks to all that have already done so and to those that are sending in notes / emails when your child is out of school.    

***Check Homework for the week.  I’ve been adding something to ask your child each week about school!  :)  

This week we will:
  • Learn about a forest ecosystem – animals and plants, animal adaptations, food webs
