April 29 in Room 11

• Putting twenty-five words in ABC order is tough but these almost-third-graders can do it!
• There was a pre-spelling test today, but the gum-chewer names have not beet released as yet.
• In P.E. most of the students are learning the rudiments of basketball. Of course, several of the students are already approaching N.B.A. draft status.
• Winn-Dixie continues....
• Students worked on counting by fives as they learned to count minutes and tell time on a face clock. They learned that counting the hour is always counted in ones. They practiced making five minute interval times on their personal clocks, then reading the time on the teacher's clock. Later, they finished a review paper.
• Several students gave their speeches to the class today.
• Room 11-ers began to write a paragraph in their journals about what they learned in Science class yesterday during their experiment with O.I.M.B.'s Oil on the Beach lesson.
