October 28 in Room 11

• Today we had music, music, music!
• Students were given writing journals and Mrs. Craig helped the class to make their first entries--some thoughts on their favorite color.
• We sang a silly rhyming song with students' names.
• We began to compile folders which will contain activities connected with teacher-read book, James and the Giant Peach.
• Some of the students made up their own "facts" and "opinions" to share.
• Students measured parts of their bodies as part of our math measurement unit. The average ear size in Room 11 seems to be about two inches, and the distance between most elbows and wrists is between seven and eight inches.
• Nurse Carrie and her nurse helpers did health screening today. We took off our shoes to get weighed and measured, then had our eyes, skin and teeth checked.
