February 2nd was a big day! Not only did the groundhog see his shadow and predict 6 more weeks of winter; it was a palindrome date. A palindrome date is one that is the same when you read it forward and backward (2-2-22). Mrs. Gray's first graders couldn't resist the opportunity to do something special. They created time capsules that they will open on another palindrome date, 3-3-33 during their senior year of high school.
The time capsules were filled with special items. Students brought items from home such as a current picture, a stuffed animal, or a shirt. Their parents wrote them a note to go in the box and Mrs. Gray wrote them a note also. Students filled out a list of their favorite and future plans. Mrs. Gray also included a newspaper for 2-2-22.
