January 26 in Room 11

• Room 11 class reviewed rules and manners for school. They practiced walking quietly in the hall and on the steps. There were also reminders about keeping hands to themselves, how to ask for help in class, as well suggestions for the most polite way to get to recess.
• Students spent time working on adding tens and ones using unifix cubes.
• Mrs. Craig hung up the reading class' graphic organizers of their fairy tale "problem, setting, characters, solution" project. Really cool!
• This morning began with a spelling word sort.
• The new story for the week is Grandpa's corner Store and Barrio. They discussed communities and compared and contrasted neighborhoods.
• Second graders worked on vocabulary.
• Students will soon be assigned to special chores as part of their classroom "community helper" participation. Mrs. Stebbins read the jobs that would be available, asking students to think about which jobs they would like to have and what they would be best at.
