Today was the first day back to school after the Christmas break. Isabel was really excited to get back and see all her friends, but after we arrived to class she acted a bit dazed and confused. She wasn’t interested in her friends anymore, she was more interested in how the room looked and changed since she’d last been there. I had to keep telling her to hang up her coat and get a pencil to write her name. When she finally sat down to write her name, I had to keep reminding her to focus on the page and write! Silly girl.
Timmy the Turtle
Isabel was very excited to show me her Timmy the Turtle that she made in class. She said that they read a story about him and then filled him with stuffing and a heart was inside. Since the weather has been so cold lately, today the class played in the gym today, instead of going outside to play. Isabel said that they placed paper on the floor and everyone got to act like they were ice skating! After that they, pretended to have a snowball fight with the crinkled up paper from the ice skating! Isabel says that she tried to get Mrs. W. and Mrs. W tried to get her! How fun would that be?! She also mentioned that they did something with ice cubes in the class room but she didn’t give me all the details on that.
The Special helper today was Ezzra. For show and tell, she brought a “My Pillow Pets” which was a monkey. For snack they had crackers and cheese with juice.
