November 4 in Room 11

• Journal entries this morning attempted to find out what second graders would say to a frog. Many would ask a frog about jumping.
• The class used the Splat squares to play a skip-counting game on the SMART Board during math.
• In the computer lab, students typed in each of their spelling words one time correctly. Then they practiced highlighting words, and changing the font, color and size of the letters.
• The Hill Bill winners for 100% on the spelling test were Zoe, Jacob, Spencer, John, Riley, Krissy, Kelsey and Colby. Mrs. Craig commented on how proud she was of everyone's spelling test this week. Wow,there has been some major studying going on!
• Jacob's sentence was used for the dictation of the week.
• Mrs. Callery came in again to show Room Eleveners more about the insides of computers. The excitement in the room could be felt. Here are some bits of overheard conversations: "He had the screwdriver for a long, long time." "Now, we have to get all those wires." "Hey, check this out!" "See? Here's the motor..." "We got the motherboard! We got the motherboard!"
