November 5 in Room 11

• We have moved on from measuring in inches to working withgroups of tens. Yayy! New information! We counted several groups of ten bugs on our worksheet today. If there were leftover bugs, they were counted in the ones place. For example, 13 ladybugs can also be grouped as 1 group of 10 and 3 ones. This is a hard concept for second graders.
• We continue to delve into the story of James and the Giant Peach.
• There was no Walk to Read today, so we had reading in our own room and worked on a whole-group activity.
• Our reading story for the week is Around the Pond.
• Teachers spent the afternoon going to school themselves. Students had early release.
