November 14 in Room 11

• Meagan is a gum-chewer this week, too! I forgot to put her name in yesterday. My apologies. I'm glad you're reading this blog, Honey.
• Children brought home notes about a feast the second graders will be preparing themselves. To be held on Friday, November 21, this special meal will be shared by all the second graders.
• Our students are getting to be real little fish in swimming class. The teachers appreciate the pleasant fatigue students return with to school.
• The family project turkeys have been returned to school with a myrial of different materials. They are beautiful. Come see them in the second grade hall!
• The children read and attempted to follow directions on how to construct a paper turkey this afternoon. If they were successful, a turkey went home on the bus this afternoon.
• In math, students did most of a paper on estimating with the teacher, but finished it by themselves. Next, they teamed up to work out a ten's and one's place activity, using counting rods and cubes.
• Our Thanksgiving descriptive writing project produced some really heartwarming pieces. What fun to step inside the sensitive brains of second graders as they tell and write about what things make an impression on them. (Enlightening, too!...)
