All Isabel would tell me about school today was how rough the boys are. After keeping her talking about class and not the boys, I was able to get a few other details but not many.
The opening activity was upper-case “Ss“. I am so glad for any reviews in writing. Isabel still tends to get sloppy and lazy when it comes to writing but she is getting better. The second line is probably the best, with all the “Ss’” being started on the top line and followed through to the bottom line and not going past. Great job!
Back: Mrs. Boettcher told the class to draw something that started with “Ss“. Isabel said that Liam and Ja’Siah are always drawing snakes, so she decided to draw one too. It’s great! The attention to detail is wonderful with the snake and the frame around it. Love it! Now if we could only get that much attention to her writing.
Review of phonic letters “Tt“, “Mm“, and “Ss“.
Introduction of new high-frequency word: “the“. Isabel was supposed to draw a toy like the other toys on the paper. She said she didn’t know how to draw a toy so she drew candy instead.
Today they sang the animal alphabet song, were all the letters are of animals only.
More phonics review.
Back: phonics review. She did a fantastic job writing her letters here. She told me she wanted to get them right.
Today they went to Mrs. Seal’s room for music. They worked on their Christmas program songs. When I asked her if she liked singing the Christmas songs. She said no, because they are to long and she doesn’t know them. I told her that is Mrs. Seal is having you sing them in October so by December when you have your Christmas program you’ll know the songs. She didn’t seem to like that answer. She did tell me that one of the songs was called, “The Shepherds Story”.
