On the way to school today, Isabel and I saw a huge flock of Canadian geese in the ponds along the road to our house. The ponds aren’t filled with the normal over-flow of water and the geese were feeding on bugs or something. I enjoy watching these birds and enjoy hearing them too. I don’t know what it is about them…
Today was Chapel. Isabel said that Mrs. Abra, the second grade teacher, gave the message today. They sang some new songs that Isabel said she hadn’t heard before. She couldn’t remember the message that Mrs. Abra gave. I learned later in the week that the message was about prayer and praising God. She also shared a book by Beverly Lewis, “What Is God Like?“. In the book 2 children discuss what they imagine what God is like. They conclude that God is love and nobody loves us more then God and he never changes. God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. This means his love never changes!
Today Mrs. Boettcher had them do review work of “Rr“, “Ss“, and “Tt“.
Lower-case “s“. She did a great job doing these. She didn’t hurry.
Back: She flipped her page over and drew a Super Butterfly!
Letter work “Tt“.
Number work.
Back: number work.
Recess today was cut short because of Chapel. However Isabel got to play with Taylor and they played “camping”. The Bible story today in class was about Noah and building the ark.
Bible verses for the week:
“Ee” – Even a child is known by his doings.” Proverbs 20:11
“Dd” – “Depart from evil and do good.” Psalm 34:14
“Cc” – “Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.” Ephesians 6:1
“Bb” – “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” Acts 16:31
“Aa” – “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23
Later in the evening, Isabel started singing this silly song! I just had to add it. Enjoy!

Gladys, where are you going? Upstairs to take a bath.
Gladys, with legs like toothpicks and a neck like a gir rafe rafe rafe rafe
Gladys, stepped into the bathtub… pulled out the plug.
Oh my goodness, oh my soul, there goes Gladys down the hole… Glub Glub Glub Glub
