Count Dracula's Store

 The children made pictures on cards and we practiced buying, selling and counting change. The children made receipts of  purchases and figured out how much money they could spend. Count Dracula's Store will be open for business through October in Ms. Rich's classroom!

Tee and Caroline

October 21, 2010/    My son Tee and his wife Caroline came to visit the children. Tee came in uniform and talked about his job. He told some good stories about his days at Ensworth!

Second Grade Community Service

<>

Tuesday, September 14- Visit from Monroe Carell Children's Hospital Volunteer Coordinator, Stephanie Van Dyke. She explained the need for the second graders community service project for the hospital. We ask the Ensworth community to send toiletries such as toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, soaps, deodorant,etc. We also collect puzzles, word search booklets, crayons, colored pencils and other small items to be distributed to children waiting for treatment.

Roxaboxen project using Netbooks in the classroom

Today we had our netbook classroom demonstration with Mrs. Schulz.This is such a great way to be able to publish our writing projects but it requires patience, teamwork and super direction following. We are off to a great start and will use the netbooks again on Monday. The children signed a netbook "rules and responsibilities" form which is stapled to the spelling test today. This form requires a parent signature and I would like the form to be returned on Monday.

Downtown Library Field Trip

Mr. Patrick gave us a great tour of the downtown library. The puppet show, Many Moons, was well done and the children enjoyed being able to ask the puppeteers questions about their profession.
