May 15 in Room 11

• There were so many gum chewers this week that only four kids took the Friday spelling test!
• Logan, Megan and Devin have all finished their Thousands books this week.
• Each child has been assigned to be an expert for one letter page in the ABCDirections book. They are to finish their page before they do any others, show it to the teacher to make sure it looks like the work of an expert, then continue with the rest of the book in order.
• The teacher finished reading Winn-Dixie. Then the students took a test on that book.
• Students sang a Hawaiian song to Mrs. Stebbins when she visited music class today. What lovely voices!
• Students worked the crossword by themselves. Next they worked with a partner. Many of them did not finish in time, so there will be crossword puzzle homework this weekend.
• Fire drill this afternoon.
• Some students are still working on their Collections writing.
• Everyone practiced three digit regrouping in adding.
• Second graders left for home this afternoon with a corrected work, a parent letter and a bag of goodies from Smokey Bear's presentation earlier this week.
• Here is a site with Smokey Bear activities for kids: Google Smokey Bear. Go to the tab that says Smokey Kids. It is good reinforcement for what they learned about being safe with fires.
