Groundhog Day in Room 11

• The new reading theme beginning today is "Amazing Animals." The day began with Mrs. Craig reading a story about Aero, the K-9 Officer. Then the class read poems about animals.
• Journal entries were poems about animals using the letters in the animal's name.
• In case anyone missed it, today is also Groundhog Day. It looks like this winter will be a long one, as Mr. Groundhog surely saw his shadow and dove right back down into his burrow for another six weeks of snoozing. To celebrate this legend, the class made stand-up groundhogs, just for fun.
• Students played the much-requested game of dodgeball in P.E.
• They listened to Mrs. Craig read the story "Groundhog Day."
• In math, students set up two column addition problems, then solved them by regrouping.
• They wrote sentences about what the maintenance people do here at Hillcrest.
• Valentine's class lists will be arriving at home soon.
