October 13 in Room 11

• We played "Run, Octopus, Run" in P.E.
• During Reading class we practiced choral reading of poetry, then presented our poems to the rest of the class.
• Our very competitive students really got into the word game, "How Many Rhymes Can We Make in Two Minutes?" It is amazing how a timer and a team motivates some students!
• Although stores have had their displays up since mid-September, teachers are just beginning to admit that Halloween is right around the corner. We did Halloween word rhymes for bellwork today.
• In math we reviewed subtraction strategies. Some of the kids had math homework.
• Logan is saving all his extracted teeth in order to cash them in all in one lump in order to buy a Lego Space Station kit. He says if he just gets money for one tooth at a time, he tends to spend it right away, so saving teeth until he gets a pile of them is an effective savings plan. Good thinking, Logan.
