Welcome Back!  I hope you all enjoyed your Spring Break.  My family and I didn't travel anywhere but did enjoy our time here in Colorado!
This week we are starting a new unit in math about measurement.  We will be measuring in inches and centimeters and using what we learned about fractions to learn down to 1/8 of an inch.  We will also be learning the metric system and the U.S. Customary units.  Next week we will be expanding into using measurement for capacity.  This unit will give us a great opportunity to practice the thinking strategy  monitoring for meaning.
In science we are continuing our study of plants.  Unfortunately our AeroGarden didn't make it as I had waited a few years to plant the seeds so I think they didn't work well.  I bought a new set of seeds over break so we will be planting those and starting new experiments with them! 
Just a few reminders...
Saturday, April 12th is our school auction!  I plan on being there and would love to see you all.  We have our class project up for the bidding!!  Also, 2nd grade is having a movie night that you can add your child to.  :) 
Monday, April 14th we have our field trip to the Botanic Gardens.  Please make sure that you have turned in your child's permission slip!
Thursday, April 17th we have Junior Achievement
Have a great week! :)
