April 30 in Room 11

• Gum Chewer names unveiled! Riley, Trinity, Teron, Spencer, Jacob, Ryan, Logan, Zoe, Jonathan, Zack, Meagan, Samantha, Dylan, Kelsey and Tawnie!
• The journal prompt, "Who's an important person in your life and why?" elicited fascinating responses, especially from Trinity, Monica, Dylan and Garrett (especially Garrett, who feels the teacher is one of the most wonderful people on earth. Good job, Garrett!)
• In conjunction with the studies on plant life, the students watched a video about a plant's life cycle.
• The class did not have computers today because the older kids are taking State Tests in the computer lab. Good luck to them!
• Students played a lively game of Charades by drawing a verb from a basket and silently acting it out. This room is full of hams!
• The SmartBoard came in handy for practicing telling time. The children took turns writing the correct time on the board next to the clock.
• Library today
• Students are still working on their Mothers' Day gifts.
• Many of the second graders are learning about tornadoes. They are taking a Senteo computer test on this subject by sending answers remotely to the computer as the computer asks questions.
