We woke up to a little covering of snow. Nothing to close the schools but it made for a pretty drive to school.
RAWR! RAWR! RAWR! RAWR!
The opening dot-to-dot activity was of a Brachiosaurus (bray-kee-oh-sore-is).
Back: Isabel drew her own dinosaur on the back .
Continuing the Dino theme, Mrs. Boettcher read from the How Do Dinosaurs series again today. Today she read How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight by Jane Yolen. Isabel said she liked this book too.
The Bible story was the continuing story of Moses and the Israelites traveling to the Promised Land. The story was from Exodus 20:1-17 and the Ten Commandments.
Today was a special Chapel with Isabel and her class giving the message.
We opened with the Pledge for the American flag given by Madeline, followed by the Christian flag given by Mishy, the Bible pledge was given by Jayden and the opening prayer was given by Reece. Mrs. Seal and some helpers from the 5th grader class opened with a few songs.
Then Mrs. Boettcher called the class up to the stage to sing their class theme song, “I am Jesus’ little flower“. After the song, the class sat down and we were presented with a video story, “The Enormous Turnip” by Kathy Parkinson and read by Mrs. Boettcher, her husband and the kids from class. Following the story Mrs. Boettcher had made a small photo video of the kids following the lesson in the story of the turnip. It brought tears to several of the people in Chapel, myself included. It was an awesome presentation!! Mrs. Boettcher did a beautiful job!!!
Closing Chapel, Isabel and Lincoln were given the opportunity to give a blessing prayer over Mrs. Boettcher. She did a terrific job!
Afterward, the class headed to recess. While I waited in the car reading a book for about 30 min. before picking her up!
Phonics work for the letter “Xx“.
Back: phonics work again. I’m glad to see that she does all the letters and not just the “required” letter. Great job!
Writing practice for the letter “Qq“.
Back: The Queen told Quinn to Quiet his Quack while sitting under a Quilt by a Quail.
