·      THE GIVING PROJECT, we have decided as a class to focus in the Humane Society! Ask your child about what they have learned on how we can help this organization. We did research on the IPads on what is on their wish list and how it can help. Some items are inexpensive and and other require more finical commitment. Any help is greatly appreciate as we learn as we learn the value of giving back to our community.

·      Core Value for the month of March, initiative. I would like the students to take initiative as they challenge themselves to best prepare for 3rd grade.  Also, taking on responsibilities and kind actions in and out of the classroom.
·      We will be celebrating our ocean habitat with an ocean day!  The students will be participating in many ocean learning activities, but we will need your helping hand. Thank you so much for the families that have already donated items or have signed up to volunteer! Please take the time to donate an item or two, and/or your time!

·      We enjoyed lunch with Jason and Jesse, and Talia and Ryder this week! Looking forward to eating with Paige and Anycia, Heather and Annabelle, and Caleb and Natalie.
