Month: November 2011

No school today due to Veteran’s Day. Thank you Vet’s and families for all the sacrifices you have made for your country. Thank you and God bless!

Tomorrow we are headed to Winter Jam. Isabel is looking forward to this, not only to see the artists but for the group that we are going with. I’ll share more later…

Isabel didn’t tell us anything about school today. Only that they got donuts for Ansley’s last day and that in honor of her last day Isabel drew her a picture. The picture was a rainbow with flowers.

The opening activity was “Nn” work.

Phonics practice with the letter “Dd”. She missed one and colored the carrots and then got lazy or rushed with her coloring.

Back: I noticed she didn’t even complete this side while at school and when I asked her about it…she said, she forgot. Later when I went to scan the page, I noticed she had completed the work at some point.

She’s doing great at memorizing her Bible verses for each week. She does struggle a bit (sometimes) with Chapter and verse but otherwise she has done a great job learning them each week and remembering the previous weeks verses as well. Way to go, Isabel!

This week’s Bible verses:

“Jj” – “Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6

“Ii” – “If ye shall ask anything in My name, I will do it.” John 14:14

“Hh” – “Honor thy father and thy mother.” Exodus 20:12

“Gg” – “God is love.” 1 John 4:8

“Ff” – “Fear not for I am with thee.” Isiah 43:5

“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

The road crew was out early this morning working on the new traffic signal at the end of our main street. It’s going to be so nice! I got to go through the green light on our way to school and felt safe crossing traffic. Some of the road “ladies” were removing cones from further down the street to open the final lane for traffic. It’s been over 2 years since the work began and I am so ready for it to end!

Mrs. Boettcher and Mrs. Kelso were both excited to see Isabel back at school. Her cough has subsided but is still lingering around. She was excited to be back and showed off her new purple fingertips!

I found out from the internet yesterday, that there is no over-the-counter medication for children under the age of 12 with a cough. The FDA has banded it since 2008. I did find information about giving her a 1/2 teaspoon of honey.  Yesterday it worked! She still was coughing but it seemed fewer and less harsh. I was surprised and will try it again for sure!

Today was Show-and-Tell Wednesday, for the boys that is. The items the boys had to bring had to begin with the letter “Dd“. Ja’Siah brought a Pillow Pets® dinosaur and a toy dinosaur that was smaller. Lincoln or Nevan (Isabel couldn’t remember who) brought a puppy dog. Since there are only 5 boys in the class they mostly brought dinosaurs.

Isabel has also learned to count by 10’s. She practices while she’s eating at the table. So cool to see that she’s picked up numbers and counting so quickly and easily.

Only one paper today.

Back: dot to dot.

Tomorrow is Ansley’s last day. She’s moving. I’m not sure exactly if she’s moving schools or moving locations. Isabel has just said she’s moving.

Today is the half way mark to day 100 of Kindergarten! I know the class is excited about this day, that is so fast approaching.

I kept Isabel home from school today, her cough sounded horrible this morning!

So it’s a sick day today, good news though is the sun is out!

Our long weekend was great. We stayed close to home and in the house were it’s warm. Friday was a rainy day. Saturday was windy and sunny but not warm. Sunday was cloudy in the a.m. but cleared up later in day. We missed church this week because Isabel is battling a nasty cough and has a very runny nose. Anything coming out the nose, means we can’t go to church (Sunday School rules). I’m hoping she gets over this soon and it doesn’t develop into something more than it is. I guess we’ll just have to see…

Isabel didn’t talk about her school day today. She said, it was school open which is always the day before Chapel but she didn’t mention what they did during that time.

She did mention that several of the kids were not willing to share with her today, either at recess or in class. We talked about it further while we ran a few errands after school and hopefully this gets better for her. She sounded really sad about the whole thing. She also told me about the Canadian geese that were in the large field during recess.

She also told me she got to see Mrs. W for a moment while she was waiting in line, she waved at her. Otherwise she couldn’t remember anything else. On my way to pick Isabel up from class I too ran into Mrs. W and she just loves seeing Isabel and her smile too.
