November 4 in Room 11

• Based on events from this week and last, two books were read aloud to us: The School Nurse From the Black Lagoon and Duck for President.
• Our math worksheet required more measuring. We are getting really good at measuring in inches, even if the items aren't in exact inches.
• Everyone left school with a Thanksgiving turkey project which is meant to be a fun family-togetherness activity. Hopefully it will be just that.
• Mr. Dunn brought in samples of different kinds of sand from all over the world during science class. Students learned how to make sample slides, then observed the sand samples through microscopes. What everyone saw was surprising: boulders!!
• We keep practicing reading and writing. Slowly but surely, students get better and better. Some students have moved up to a higher reading group.
• We had inside recess and music today.
