This morning we got ready and out the door on time and without delay. We arrived at the class just after Mrs. Boettcher opened the door.
Today was the girls turn for show and tell with the letter “Gg“. Each girl was to bring something that started with the letter given. Isabel said that someone brought a snow globe, that lite up and had lots of snow falling down inside. Someone brought gold coins. Another girl brought a trophy with a girl on it. Isabel took 2 stuffed animal giraffes from her Noah’s ark boat. She said she didn’t get to see the rest of the show and tell because she had to leave to go home. Bummer!
Today they had free-choice recess, because it was raining outside. Isabel first chose computer games and then decided to play school with Lincoln, Nevan, and Emma. Isabel said she was the teacher the again and I reminded her she needed to share her “role” as teacher with others.
The Bible story today was about Abraham and Issac. Abraham was offering his son as an offering to God. However God provided a ram for the sacrifice instead.
“It’s raining on the sidewalk. It’s raining on the street. I think I’ll put my rain coat on and let it rain on me.” Is a new action song that she has learned the whole thing.
Mrs. Boettcher brought her guitar again to class. They sang “I am Jesus’ little flower”. Don’t know if this is the actual title of the song but Isabel said she really like the song.

BTW…
Our parent/teacher conference went very well. Isabel is doing great in school. Mrs. Boettcher is just amazed with her love of books. Mrs. Boettcher said when given the choice between coloring and reading, Isabel will go for a book instead. Mrs. Boettcher says she just loves that about her! Also, Isabel is at a 2nd grade reading level!
Isabel is meeting all her requirements for Kindergarten for the first quarter. She does need to work on slowing down while writing. She gets in such a hurry, that her work comes out sloppy sometimes. When we know that she can write each letter correctly.
She has picked up counting, very quickly, at the beginning of the year she could only count to 1-10, now she can count to 109 and beyond! She can also count by 10’s and does so all the way to 100.
We received alphabet flash cards for word blending of sounds. We also learned that after Thanksgiving she will be given a book each day and will be required to read the book for homework each night. The next day, she will have to read the book to either Mrs. Boettcher or Mrs. Kelso. At the end of the day she will get a new book to work on. Isabel is going to love this! And finally, we received “lines” for the Christmas program coming up in December. She only has 1 line to learn and I think she’ll pick it up quickly!
Way to go Isabel! You are doing so well and we are so proud of your hard work. God has given you an amazing mind to learn and we hope you continue to learn and grow as the year continues.
