October 15 in Room 11

• The "What am I?" riddles turned out really well. The kids listened to riddles they had written and guessed who each other would be for Halloween.
• We studied the Weekly Reader with a partner, filling in the answers together at the back of the paper.
• Frog Pond is the game of the week in P.E. Wow! It's fun!
• Babe lost two tennis balls in the space of three minutes this morning. Although kids aim their tosses at a cone in the middle of the playground field, sometimes the balls fly backwards into the woods or waaaayyy sideways to end up on the school roof.
• What are synonyms? Two words that mean the same thing. For example: little and small; frighten and scare.
• We have two gum chewers on Friday. Congratulations, Jonathan and Meagan!
• It's been a pleasure conferencing with parents about their children this week. Sharing kid information is fun and very useful. Isn't it surprising how many of the things we notice at school also happen at home?
