January 16 in Room 11

• Room 11-ers had music today.
• Students watched a movie about the Reverend Martin Luther King's life, work and legacy. It would be worth the time to discuss the meaning of his work with the children at home, as many of the students had comments and questions that were not able to be addressed in class.
• Many students had great success on the final spelling test.
• The second graders seem to be grasping the meanings of place value and what the numbers look like. Spelling out the words (e.g. one hundred fifty eight) still remains a challenge.
• So far, the salmon eggs remain eggs. Two are reported to have died.
• Thanks to Jacob's and Logan's moms for their help in school today.
