December 2 in Room 11

• Students practiced writing spelling words as their bellwork.
• Everyone received a HillBill in music for their super singing!
• The children read four fables and worked with a partner to begin filling out a comparison chart. There were questions like, "Who were the main characters?" and "What was the main event?" And the big fable question: "What was the moral of the story?
• In math, students are working on wordering numbers. This is really easy for most of the kids. However, when it is their turn to stand in front of the class and try the speed answers on the SMARTBoard game, it is so scary, some students forget how to do it. Our class is working on being quietly encouraging.
• In Mr. Dunn's science class students worked in groups drawing scientific (realistic) drawings of different types of clams. Who knew there were so many different kinds right here on the coast?
• Hillcrest Hound Dog came in and paid us a visit explaining about hungry people in the community. Students were encouraged to bring in a can or a box of food to give to others. Our class will be competing with the other second grades to see who can bring in the most items.
• Families and friends are invited to come join the North Bend Community in this joyous start to the Holiday Season, Thursday, December 4th. Festivities begin at the North Bend Community Center at 5:45 p.m. Santa will be arriving at 6:00 p.m., just in time to help Mayor Wetherell light the Christmas tree. Santa will be handing out treats to all of the boys and girls following the tree lighting. The City of North Bend will be giving away two bicycles. The children must be present to win. wouldn't it be cool if someone in Room 11 won a bike?
