11/11/11

I posted the date this way because today was the eleventh day, of the eleventh month, and in the twenty eleventh year.  This was fascinating to my students, all day all I heard was how cool it was.  Reggie's last day was awesome we had an assembly for the veterans and it was special to see the students salute the men and woman of the armed forces.  Reggie shared his show in tell and we learned he won a trophy for playing basketball.  He brought his stuffed dog which he sleeps with and plays with.  He was a cuddly little critter.  He shared his favorite book which was Phineas and Ferb Across the Second Dimension by Ellie O'Ryan.  He will get to finish his questions from the class on Monday due to the fact that I forgot, well we ran out of time.  Today we had writing and all the students are finished with the class book.  They all are starting their magazine article for their how to papers.  Then we moved onto math and discussed three digit numbers to 999.  We were learning how to tell what comes before and after the numbers.  After that we watched our science video and ended Reggie's day with him sharing.  Reggie was an excellent Top Banana and we are sad to have to say good-bye, but we must.  It is time to look forward to Crisanta.
