March 3 in Room11

• Students created a zany animal flip book in response to the teacher's reading of If I Ran the Zoo.
• In math everyone continues to work on regrouping, deciding whether they need to regroup or not, and then actually doing the computing.
• Music today!
• Mr. Dunn, the science teacher, showed films of elephant seals and told the class a story of how he helped rescue a baby elephant seal (which, at about four months, weighed a mere 300 pounds. A full-grown male weighs 4,000 pounds.)
• Students lined up shoulder-to-shoulder in the front of a life-size drawing of an elephant seal. The seal was fifteen second graders long!
• The cake eating will have to wait until Wednesday because there was no time to do a proper write-up describing the experience.
• The class did have time to study another recipe on their own, and figure out just what steps to take in making succotash.
