April 6 in Room 11

• This week's story is "Carousel." The class read and listened to the story and will be working on the story and vocabulary all week.
• There was a fire drill during P.E. this morning. Because this is an unusual time for a fire drill, some students had trouble finding where to line up outside, which necessitated a discussion about waiting for the teacher's directions.
• The class had their hard-earned free time today and are now working toward a popcorn party.
• Today was the last day for collecting items for the second grade arts and crafts basket to be donated to the carnival. (Carnival--3:00 PM, Saturday, April 11, at North Bend Middle School)
• Mrs. Stebbins invited Room 11 and their families to the Easter egg hunt they have at their house each year. This year it is at 1:30 on Sunday. Bring your bags for collecting eggs.
• In order to keep adding and subtracting skills honed and sharp, students will be taking a "Mad Minute" test every day through the end of the year. The object is to answer as many math facts correctly in one minute. Congratulations to Logan on his great score today!
• The class did two review worksheets this afternoon. One was on what to eat for healthy teeth. The other had a list of items to buy, and asked what coins should be used to purchase these items.
• Students were asked to write about what it would be like to be, or to help the Easter Bunny. A writing rubric will be used to score these pieces. There are some really fine imaginations in this class!
