February 26 in Room 11

• Teacher finished reading Alexander and the Horrible, Terrible, Very Bad Day. Many of the students could really relate to Alexander.
• In the computer lab, students began typing in previously-written comments about their favorite place in the school.
• Thanks to Mrs. Stallings for helping with art. It was a very paint-y affair, and the students have accomplished some lovely pieces so far. Outlining and details are next.
• A positive report: no water was dumped on the floor today and no one tipped over in his or her chair.
• Names of gum chewers were omitted yesterday. Here they are: Riley, Colby, Jonathan, Ryan, Kelsey, Trinity, Dylan, Meagan, Devin, Jacob, Logan, Garrett.
• Zoe, who moved away, has happily rejoined our class.
• Groups of students worked together to make their own word sorts.
• Library today
• Many students finished their art projects early and were able to make little paper Abraham Lincoln figures.
• The P.T.A. is sponsoring a cookie-dough fund-raiser. Students brought home the catalogues today. A letter telling about benefits to the school accompanies the promotional information. Speaking from personal experience, the cookie dough is really terrific.
