Mrs. Freeman's 2nd grade has been learning about reading clocks to 5 minute intervals. If you see a 2nd grader, and there’s a clock around, ask them to read the clock and what time it shows. Also ask them if they are reading a digital clock or analog clock!

Some questions to ask the 4th Graders: What is a watershed? Tell me about the water web game you played. Where did you spend the most time as a water droplet?
Mrs. Laib's 8th graders have been studying The Diary of Anne Frank. Today we did a group brainstorming activity in preparation for writing obituaries for all those who hid in the Secret Annex.

What information is usually found in an obituary?
