March 15 in Room 11

• This week the second grades begin a new reading theme, Family Time. they practiced new vocabulary and listened to this week's story, Brothers and Sisters.
• In P.E. everyone enjoyed playing Frog Pond.
• Students challenged themselves by trying to fill in all the blanks on a leprechaun story sheet.
• Subtraction with regrouping took the center stage today. Students received minimal help on their work and were expected to finish. If they answered correctly, they were able to match the numbers to a letter and solve a mystery question. Tomorrow will be a real test in regrouping.
• They are also working on a final write-up about baking cakes.
• Fact-finding as a skill got a work-out as students finish a worksheet about teeth. Today they labeled the parts of a tooth. They were allowed to check back in their health book if they could not remember the answers.
• A reminder: Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day and many people like to wear green. If someone does not wear green, there will not be any pinching anyway. No pinching at Hillcrest.
