This will be the last Challenge problem on the blog for 2nd grade.  Thank you parents and students for continuing to check the blog. You guys are AWESOME! This month if you do the math challenge problem, we will have a math party at the end of the month while the rest of the students are in Music. And we will have a special treat! Keep it up mathematicians…

1.

Jackie has 5 activities planned for May. The dates of those activities are shown in pink on her calendar.

• Jackie will go to a sleepover at Brittany’s house on a weekend.

• The school play will be on a Wednesday.

• Her class trip to the zoo will be before the sleepover.

• Soccer practice starts 2 days after the school play.

• Jackie’s birthday party is 2 weeks after the school play.

What is the date of each activity? (look at the pink dates May 4, 6, 17, 19, and 31)

HI guys,

Mrs. Butler finished the HALF MARATHON – woohoo! My finish time was 2 hours and 28 minutes. Here are a few pictures. I’ll bring my medal on Tuesday. Have a good monday, I’ll miss you guys! BE GOOD and do your best )

HI guys,
So as many of you know, I’ve been training for the Eugene half marathon. This will be my 5th half marathon, woohoo~ but this one has been the hardest to train for! It’s been a long road, because, boy my body is just not the same after having Avery. My goal is to finish in 2 1/2 hours!!!

The race is on sunday, April 29th. Start time is 7:00 am at Hayward Field and we end there too! I would love for you to come out and cheer me on throughout the course. Make a sign or a banner please ) just kidding…well only if you want too!

A few good cheering sections are Albertsons on 30th Ave. – I will be by there 2 times, once around 7:20 and then around 8:00 or so. Next spot would be around South Eugene High school (8 mile marker) – I should be there around 8:20, Hayward field or close by 19th and Agate (9 miles) around 8:30.

This is hoping that I keep my 10 1/2 minute mile pace. Parking will be crazy and busy but if you can make it down, I’d love to see you!
Thanks for your support,
Nicole

Good Luck great MATHEMATICIANS!!!
