January 28 in Room 11

• Mrs. Craig played hula-hoop tag with the kids in P.E. today. They loved ganging up to catch her.
• Students worked on grammar usage, using "est" and "er" in the correct way.
• Spelling Gum-chewers: Meagan, Logan, Jonathan
• Math lessons are moving on to two column addition with regrouping without the use of manipulatives.
• Students are now old enough to take on some classroom chore responsibilities. They signed up for their job preferences this afternoonbut the teachers had final say in who got what job. Students appeared to be happy with their assignments. Some of them started today, others need some on-the-job training. Chore responsibilities run the gamut from sharpening pencils, watering the hibiscus, and keeping the board erased, to checking off who brought in homework and getting the recycling bin emptied. Good luck, community helpers!
• As part of our writing project about school community helpers and their responsibilities, for their second installment, second graders wrote about the responsibilites of being a student.
