May 4 in Room 11

• The day started with P.E.
• Mrs. Farlow, a very familiar teacher to many of the students, as they had her last year as first graders, was the substitute for the morning. Mrs. Craig is sick.
• Students are working hard at learning to tell time in Math class. Some of them got a surprise when they corrected their own work today. Many of the speediest workers discovered that--Oops!--most of their answers were wrong. Perhaps slowing down and listening to the teacher might be useful.
• Devin lost a tooth!
• The class began making flip-books for homophones.
• Read-aloud Winn-Dixie continues to keep the interest of the second graders.
• At the beginning of the year, students were given a packet of papers with a large grid on each page. They were told to fill in all the squares until they got to one thousand. One student, Ryan, completed that task, and the others let the work fall by the wayside. The job is once again being tackled. Students received smaller booklets, and smaller grids, along with directions to follow as they finish each set of one hundreds. This project began today with the covers. Ryan will not be required to repeat this activity.
• Kelsey gave her speech about her rubber duck collection. She even has a duck in a Santa outfit!
