Learning centers:
We have been writing Thankful postcards. The first few have been mailed out. The students are writing to someone hopefully in their own household. If they are writing to someone not in their primary residence, then please send the address with your student so they can address their postcard.
Library:
We are having a Super Circle for our Spring Concert on Tuesdays and then gym with the other grade 2 classes. This means we will be moving our library time to Thursdays at 1pm until spring break.

Daily Challenge:
Share with your family the words we are learning about in science: heat transfer, insulator, conduction, radiation, and convection.
What happens when something warmer touches something colder? Why would the house we saw at Heritage Park be cold in winter? What kind of heat do we get from the sun?
What is a good insulator if we are going outside in cold weather? Why is it a good insulator?
