April 21 in Room 11

• The day began with Music.
• Logan's hands were cold because he rode on a motorcycle to school today.
• Students watched a video about taking care of the Earth and completed a fill-in the blank paper about the video.
• There is no "Walk-to-Read" this week. Instead, students are remaining in their classrooms and receiving extra instructions about writing. Each student will go through the steps in the writing process (idea, jotting words, organizing, title, topic and conclusion, rewrite...) to complete a finished personal narrative by Thursday.
• Anticipation for the next round of speeches is building. Students were still talking about yesterday's talks this morning.
• The sunflowers are sprouting!
• In math, students did a worksheet with the teacher on counting back change. Then they played "Volcano Cash."
• The children wrote in their journals using their foursquare from last week about the life cycle of trees.
• Mr. Dunn came in with five different types of marine worms. Students moved from station to station observing the worms and recording information about each worm. They kinds of worms brought in by the science teacher were Spaghetti Worm, Peanut Worm, Ribbon Worm, Sand Worm and Pile Worm.
• It was hard to tell on some worms where the head was.
• Dylan says the Pile Worm moves in "eses."
