No school today due to parent/teacher conferences.

No school today due to parent/teacher conferences.

We had our conference today @ 10 a.m. Isabel is dong a great job! She is right on track for her age. She does need to work on reciting the alphabet, when asked in class to do so, she got to “S” and then stopped. So we will be working on that along with everything else that we do to keep her moving forward.

This morning was our first frost and I had to scrap the windows on the car before heading to school.

Isabel at school with her pine cone turkey. So cute!

Isabel’s turkey.

They traced their hands, cut those out, glued that to the back of the cone, then added colorful feathers, a pipe cleaner for the neck, glued on Googly eyes and a wattle.

Since Jeannie (Gino’s cousin) and her little boy, Aaron are here for a visit. They came with me to see Isabel’s school and Aaron got to sit in the special helper chair.

Mrs. W told Isabel she could have one of the partially popped cobs from Wednesdays strawberry popcorn day.

Today Ja’saih’s daddy, who is in the military, came to class to tell the kids all about what he does about staying safe. He had on a white and gray outfit and a helmet that was black and gray. He had a little box that had ear plugs inside and the box was attached to his belt.  He had boots on that had holes in them so that his feet could breathe. He also had something on his chest to protect his chest.

The special helper today was Addie. Addie forgot to bring a show and tell. For snack they had grapes, a cupcake, and juice.

Today in school Isabel had a very very busy day! They did so much, in the time that they had together!

She had a huge handful in the classroom and if I would have been thinking, I could have gotten a picture but she was eating it so fast! They made strawberry popcorn. Which was so tiny. Mrs. W told us that they went into the kitchen to watch it pop up in the microwave and the kids just loved watching it pop! pop! pop!

A close up of the kernels…they were so small.

They sang the turkey pokey and worked on Christmas songs for a program next month. They had a fire drill and Isabel did so well, Mrs. W was very proud of her. Isabel said she didn’t even have to cover her ears. They even talked about what to do if there was an earthquake. Isabel says that you go under the table, hug the table leg and don’t come out until after everything stops moving. Good job!

They worked on the letter “H” for heart, hot, hop, happy, house, and hug.” Isabel says. I just love this letter “H” that she worked on, the hearts aren’t all the way glued down, so they rise up from the paper.

They did leaf and corn on the cob press painting. They painted a leaf or corn cob and then pressed it onto paper. Isabel said that she didn’t quite understand how to do it but there are certain areas where you can see the leaf and corn cob press.

The special helper was Anika. Isabel couldn’t remember what Anika brought in for show and tell. For snack they had Toy Story 4 fruit snacks, cheese and crackers, and juice.

They also went to chapel. In chapel they heard a story about Jesus up on a hill. The sang songs, one of which was  “Go Tell It On The Mountain”. They also heard a story about flowers wearing clothes.

While they were out in the playground, Isabel did water painting again.

What an interesting day…

I was able to get a photo of Isabel and all those turkey feathers that all the kids did. Isn’t he cool?!

A photo of photos from the class and their many adventures last month.
Can you find Isabel?

The Bible story was about a blind man and Jesus made him better. They worked on the letter “G”, writing it down. The story today was about Crayons that talked and stood on their heads to be colored with. For recess she dug in the rocks and mentioned something about painting with water on the wall. Haven’t heard about this one before, so have no idea what she’s talking about there…

The special helpers today were Zachary and Rebecca (they both had a birthday over the weekend – and since we had no school on Friday, they were both special helper today!). Zachary brought a treasure with pictures in it. The pictures were of a football team. Zachary watches football every day with his Daddy.

Rebecca brought a doll and a mouse. The doll has a wheelchair, but she didn’t bring the wheelchair to class. Isabel was very excited because she got to ask Rebecca a question about her doll…”Do you sleep with her?” she asked. “Yes, she sleeps with her doll!” she said.

For snack, they had Toy Story 3 cookies and milk. “You could dip your cookies in your milk and I drank all my milk.” Isabel said

If you missed her from the photos above…
She (a fireman) was playing dress up with Makayla, who was a very adorable giraffe.
Mrs. W was very kind and let me bring this picture home!
