This morning we ran into some friends at school whom we haven’t seen since school began. Our friend (who’s in 1st grade) was so worried that Isabel didn’t got to his school and his mom was just making it up because he hadn’t seen her there! So we met up in the parking lot before class. They were so excited to see each other that Isabel couldn’t wait to get out of car. When she gets out the car, the 2 just stand there staring at each other not saying a word! So funny!
So come to find out…while I was walking back to the car, our friend was pulling out and she stops to tell me that the kids never see each other because the 1st grader doesn’t get to have their first recess because the teacher said, “they have to much work to do.” I was a bit shocked by this. How can you not allow kids to play??! That’s just as important, if not more so then the school work. I’m still scratching my head on this one…
Anyway’s, Isabel got to see Mrs. W this morning in class. Mrs. W stopped by to say “hi” to all her old students and to encourage Eden, who has still been struggling each day. Isabel was excited to see her and gave her a big hug (along with the others that had her last year as well).
She didn’t say a lot about today. She mentioned that one of the boys wasn’t feeling well today. He kept his head down on his desk and stuck by Mrs. Boettcher. Isabel said she tried to comfort him and take care of him. She also got to play with Presley on the playground again. She thought that was really fun. Eden is doing much better today. Her family has left her with a photo of them and whenever she is sad, she looks at her picture. It seems to be working!
Today’s number is 8. The class is counting down the days to 100. On the 100th day the class is going to have a party!
Pattern cubes of color. She colored the cubes that went along with the pattern Mrs. Boettcher gave her.
Her dot-to-dot today was a horse. She got excited seeing Mrs. W and lost her focus of doing it.
Got a little crazy.
This picture went along with a story that was told and Isabel had to remember the story and color each item a certain color.
“Bb” – “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” Acts 16:31
