October 30 in Room 11

• Students wrote Halloween stories first thing in the morning.
• Everyone practiced measuring things in the classroom during math time.
• As we listen to James and the Giant Peach, the peach continues growing to an amazing size. Second graders have finished decorating their Read-Aloud folders.
• During computer time, we practiced opening Word, typing in the word "Halloween," and highlighting it to change sizes and fonts.
• We finished gluing on eyes, noses and mouths to our Halloween lanterns. We got to take them home.
• We got new library books this afternoon.
• At the end of the day, students wrote one sentence about their Halloween costumes on each of eight paper spider legs. The legs were fan-folded and glued onto a silly spider body.
• As one twirling, wiggling youngster informed his teacher today, "Tomorrow is Halloween." (Do you know what I have to say about that information?...."Duh.")
