May 26 in Room 11

• The day began with music.
• The class listened to a recording of Moses Goes to a Concert.
• They also studied vocabulary words. Ask your second grader what "percussion" means.
• The teacher read a new Skippy Jon Jones book. Skippy Jon is a favorite in room 11. The new book was titled Skippy Jon Jones in the Dog House.
• The second graders had a class meeting to discuss what would be best to wear on the field trip to the beach. These are some of the things they decided: Wear tennis shoes, dress in layers, no skirts or dresses.
• They also talked about how they should behave: Be kind to sea life, do not run up to strange dogs, no throwing sand or rocks, don't talk to strangers and do not run off!
• In math, the students are practicing more and more regrouping. Today they had to watch carefully for the signs.
• Everyone watched Mr. Dunn's scientist story one more time. Then they wrote about what it would take to be a good scientist.
• At the end of the day they worked on their Thousands Book.
