The day we celebrate Christ's
rising from the dead is called
Easter. II always comes on a Sun
day in either March or April With
out a calendar we can not tell
which Sunday will be Easter. The
date depends on when the moon is
full in the month.
We color Easter eggs and give
them to our friends as a way of
saying that spring is here.

And the joy that they will give you
Will go right 20 your heart.

We Study Antarctica
We studied about Antarctica
during March. We learned that no
people live there all year. Large

animals that live there. The plants
that grow in the Antarctic are
mosses and lichens. Lichens are
little plants much like moss that
grows on rocks.
Antarctica is believed to have
been much warmer many years ago
than il is today because explorers
have found coal there. Coal can
be formed only where it is warm.
