Today started out very foggy and didn’t clear up until later in the afternoon. I spent the day fighting a headache, which is something I haven’t had in awhile.
Isabel was very excited to get to school today and hand in her first ever homework assignment! She wanted to show the whole class her homework. She received the homework on Friday of last week but with a busy weekend, I decided to do the work on Monday after school. So I got everything together that I thought she would like to use for her homework; stickers, glitter glue, markers, pinto beans, black beans, rice, pom poms, and macaroni. She had a really fun time working on it and was actually able to do 2 projects for the homework but only chose one to take back to school. Enjoy!
Beginning her homework assignment.
Both leaves; which one did she chose?
Isabel and her “leaf” that she took to class. It will be displayed for the month of October in the classroom and then we will get it back.
After handing in her homework, she took off to hang up her coat and get to work on her name writing. She again told me today while I sat with her that she wanted to do it quick. So that she could finish reading her book before they moved on to other things. So she quickly finished, handed in her pencil, picked out a book, and sat at the quite time circle.
I arrived late, because as I noticed on Friday when I picked her up, I was better able to talk with the teachers. Otherwise, when all the other parents are there it’s chaos with kids, parents and noise. Today, when I arrived I was told that Isabel did an amazing job in Chapel today, and was given a special sticker for her behavior. Great job! I also was able to see the “leaf” tree that is taking great shape with all the leaves from the kids. So many colorful and unique leaves! Will have to take a photo before it’s taken down and all the leaves are up!
Today, the kids worked on the letter “B”.
“B” is for buttons, which were glued to large letter “B’s”.
Today they sang songs; the Growing song, the Memory Verse song, the Sticky Gumdrop song, and the Bible song (it’s not the B-I-B-L-E, she said) w/actions.
During free play time, Isabel sat down and made herself a Bracelet from the craft bin, with raffia and tissue paper. She was so proud of it and how she made it all by herself. “With no one to help, Momma!” she said.
Today, as I mentioned before, it was Chapel Wednesday. The story was about Elijah and a bird named Charlie. Charlie was a puppet and he was black. Elijah was a boy and he was sitting on a rock. Charlie would bring bread and fish (salmon) to Elijah. They sang songs and they even had games too in Chapel but she didn’t play the games.
On the playground she was able to get a bike! Usually, all the boys get the bikes and they don’t share. So today she got one. She liked to ride the bike but kept getting stuck but she figured it out, she said.
The special helper today was Rebecca. Rebecca brought chocolate cookies and juice for snack. Rebecca also brought “Jessie” from Toy Story 3! “Did you know there is a Toy Story 2, Momma?” she says with excitement. “Jessie is a doll and she has a pull string just like my elephant does and she talks! My elephant doesn’t talk though. Just Jessie does.” “Momma, when does Toy Story 4 come out, because I really want to see that.”
