Month: November 2011

Isabel didn’t tell us anything about her day. She did mention recess and how Mrs. Boettcher pushed her on the swing. She didn’t even bring any paperwork home in her take home folder.

Gino picked her up from class and she was excited about that. Afterward we headed to the post office to check the mail (sure wish the HOA would hurry up and fix our mailbox!). On the way home we stopped and got a bite to eat.

 

This week’s Bible verses:

“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

After arriving at school we stopped by Mrs. W’s class and said hello. Mrs. W took a picture of Isabel with the classes fall decor and told us she would hang in on her fridge and give us a copy. Mrs. W really enjoys getting morning hugs from Isabel and I know Isabel does too.

Also, this morning, Isabel asked Mrs. Boettcher about her missing warthog book. Mrs. Boettcher said she hadn’t found one yesterday but she might have an extra one for Isabel to take home. Isabel actually found the book in her backpack, it had somehow gotten wet so it needed to air dry when we got home. She “read” the wordless book to me later in the afternoon about a warthog making muffins with his friend. If you turn the wordless, boundless book over the pages become a puzzle. Neat!

Today was show and tell for the girls, next Wednesday will be the boys turn. The girls were to bring something that began with the letter “Nn”.

Isabel had the same idea as a lot of the other girls, she took a necklace. The necklace she took was from one of the volunteers in her Sunday School class. Isabel said one of the girls brought a teddy bear.

The Bible story in class today was about Abraham. Isabel said she’s heard the story before but when Gino asked her what the name of his son was, she couldn’t remember. She did say that the story was bout Abraham moving away. Gino asked her if he used U-haul. I thought it was funny but she didn’t think so.

During recess Taylor and Isabel swung on the swings together. Isabel said that Taylor doesn’t push as high as I can because she likes to go high.

The opening activity was capital “Nn” practice. She did a great job except the far right column of “Nn’s” are really tight. Maybe she thought she was going to run out of paper.

The main road to the school is finally open! Hurray!! I can now leave home and be to school in under 5 min. instead of taking 20 min. So excited!

Isabel didn’t have much to tell about school today. When I arrived to pick her up they were coming in from recess. So I was able to observe without being noticed for awhile.

As we were walking to the car, she was looking for a book about a warthog. I told her we couldn’t go back to class, so she would have to ask Mrs. Boettcher about it tomorrow (and she did!).

Today was Chapel and Pastor Shawn gave the message. Isabel couldn’t remember what it was about. So I’ll have to find out Thursday in the school newsletter.

The opening activity was just a coloring sheet. I was a bit disappointed that all she did was scribble.

Isabel did mention that Mrs. Boettcher and Mrs. Kelso both tested the kids today. Mrs. Kelso had the kids point out letters of the alphabet as she asked them a letter. Mrs. Boettcher told the kids to count as high as they could go. Isabel said she counted all the way to 109 and then showed me she can count to 109! Silly girl!

With the first quarter ending in just a few weeks, the testing is getting more frequent. Isabel did a great job on this just missed the “Ss” and “Pp“.
