This morning was a very cold one, I actually had to scrape ice off the windshield, which I haven’t done in awhile. The temperature for the morning barely made it to 32° by the time I went back to get Isabel…
When I arrived at class, Isabel was excited to tell me about a class project they were working on that day. The kids were working on a get well card for someone who is sick in the hospital. They were all coloring pictures on a big piece of paper. Not exactly sure what’s going on there so I will have to find out more about this on Wednesday when we get back to class.
However, after gathering all her school things and getting her coat on, as we were heading out the door. Mrs. W stopped us and told me that she was concerned about Isabel playing in the water during recess (alarm bells going off!). Mrs. W said that Isabel had gotten so wet in the water that she was concerned for her getting to cold. Mrs. W said that she had tried to get Isabel to change her wet pants but Isabel told her no, she wanted to wear her own clothes. I told, Mrs. W that we had already had a talk about her playing in the water at recess. So on the ride home, we again had a talk about playing in the water at recess… With temperatures only a few degrees above 30, I was not happy, to hear about this.
Today, they made snowflakes.
This snowman was actually made last week sometime but it didn’t get to come home until today. Isabel says that she didn’t cut anything out, they just glued the pieces down.
Isabel did tell me about this painting that they did today. They were each given a sheet of paper with a dab of white paint on it. They were then told to fold the paper in half and then press lightly on the paper. Afterward, they were told to unfold the paper and tell the teacher what they saw in the paint after unfolding the paper. What do you see?… If you hold the paper this way; Isabel says that it’s clouds.
If you turn the paper sideways; Isabel said it’s an ice cream cone.
Daddy looked at the paper and said he saw a person wearing a coat, with their arms folded and their head down.
The special helper today was Zachary. For show and tell, Zachary brought a Spider Man mask. For snack, he shared with the class graham crackers and milk. Isabel said that she enjoyed the graham crackers because she hasn’t had them in awhile and she got to dip them in milk.
