January 7 in Room 11

• The kids worked on sorting out their spelling phonics sounds, had a pre-test and self-corrected their work. Gum-chewers: Trinity, John, Jonathan, Riley, Meagan, Ryan, Zoe, Kelsey, Spenser and Krissy. Wow!
• Dodgeball featured twice in the lives of room Eleveners today--
• Students were assigned to write sentences about how they would eat or play in space. Several children wrote about playing dodgeball in space.
• They played dodgeball in P.E. today, too.
• In conjunction with the reading topic for the week, students read about fire safety, then identified the main topic and the supporting details.
• Yesterday's chalk snowmen received names and personalities this morning, making them more than just drawings of snowmen. They are "Snowpals."
• We live in a rainy winter wonderland!
