We are in the home stretch with new units in science and social studies, NWEA in a couple of weeks, and Spring fairy tale plays.
We are starting our plant unit in science. We will study the parts of the plants, the needs of plants, and plan some experiments. It should be fun!
It is all about economics in social studies. Our field trip in May to the Jiffy Mix factory should tie in nicely to this unit.

We had a special treat for second grade only. We were visited by a flute player from the Dearborn Symphony. He played the flute while one of our district music teachers read the story The Flute Player. It was a wonderful experience for the children!
The Peter Cotton Tail play at the Marquis Theater was a lot of fun! It was great to see a live performance with singing and dancing! Here are a couple of pictures of our exciting trip.
When we returned to school after the play we had a talent show. The kids had a good time singing with their friends on our stage.
I am looking forward to a very productive spring!
