Happy Vernal Equinox!
As we try to look for some positivity in each day, today I say to you, “Happy Spring.” Today is the Vernal, or Spring, Equinox. On the equinoxes the Sun shines directly on the equator and the length of day and night is nearly equal. Spring has arrived!
Watch this video on BrainPOP to learn more about the equinox! Did you know that BrainPOP is another fabulous website offering free access for families impacted by school closures?
So what about this: Can You Balance an Egg on the Spring Equinox? Fact or fiction? You might have heard that an egg will stand on end on the spring equinox. The Clarkes wanted to test this out today. Ask your parents to show you our video proof that with A LOT of patience this can be done.

Read this article from Scholastic News about the truth behind my balancing eggs. When you are finished and can explain this balancing act, maybe, just maybe, your parents will lend you and egg and let you test this out! Send me a picture if you can make it happen.
A Message to Class 5-206
Good afternoon to my 5-206 family!
I hope this note finds everyone well and comfortable at home. I am just reaching out and asking that you send your child a virtual hug from me. Remind them of one of my favorite Mr. Roger's quotes, "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers, you will always find people who are helping.'"
Just as you are waiting, so I am, as we prepare for this remote learning phase next week. In the interim jump online and check out all of the positivity going on in the world... from Lunch Doodles with Mo Willems,
https://www.facebook.com/events/2544781839094130/ to all of the amazing companies offering free activities and subscriptions due to school closings like www.scholastic.com/learnathome.
I have attached a file here of just some of the many offerings complied by amazingeducationalresources@gmail.com.
Most importantly, let's remain calm and patient. Explain to your kids what is going on and alleviate their fears by explaining that school is closed as a precautionary measure. Look for the helpers! We are 221 strong and will do this together.
Best regards,
Mrs. Clarke
