November 17 in Room 11

• Preparations for Friday's feast are in full swing. Today's project was creating placemats.
• Swimming continues to be exciting. A reminder to bring a plastic bag for wet suits.
• Mrs. Craig reviewed place value in math.
• We had a math test this afternoon.
• At our feast we will have 14 Native Americans, 3 boy pilgrims and 5 girl pilgrims attending. We'll need to work on out headgear.
• Each child received a class list this afternoon and was asked to write in what they were thankful for about at least five students in the class. Some children wrote something about everybody.
• Because we wrote about what we were thankful for in our friends, Mrs. Stebbins read Frog and Toad are Friends aloud. She used the document camera so that all the students could see the pictures.
• The "bin project," an activity box created for those who have finished their work, held supplies for making a very popular pop-up turkey card, colored with markers.
