November 18 in Room 11

• Still swimming... Oops! Some people forgot their suits today.
• During a math review, students used their own whiteboards to explore place value. Some of the students took turns being the teacher by writing their own clues for the class.
• During bellwork time, everyone practiced spelling.
• Mr. Dunn directed a play in which all students participated. Some thesbians played rocks, others were mountains, still others were water and sand. It was a good demonstration of how rocks break down into tiny bits of sand and end up at the beach.
• We tried another Senteo activity today. First, students partner-read the Weekly Reader, next, they answered questions on the SmartBoard about what they read by using remote "clickers." After that, they checked their answers and compared their results with the rest of the class.
• We are preparing for two celebrations--our second-grade Thanksgiving feast on Friday, and the Winter concert in December.
