January 15 in Room 11

• As a journal project, first thing in the morning, everyone wrote about "My Favorite Place to go in Our Community," and why. Some samples of fovorite places are below. Spelling has not been edited because theachers accept "kid spelling" in journals, as it keeps the students' writing honest and fresh. Spelling and punctuation is added in more formal projects. Many of the entries are accompanied by delightful drawings.
